Rubber earbud wingtip swallowed!!

[Rescuechickens]

I have a 1.5 month old chick and she managed to find my long lost wingtip. Before I could grab it she somehow managed to swallow it and has been making gagging reflexes for the past hour on and off. I am deeply concerned but she is eating/drinking so far and it has a hole but I don't know what to do if she somehow take a turn for the worst? I can feel it in her crop.

Oh shoot, that doesn't sound good. If it were my bird I would rush it to the vet, it may require surgery to remove. An adult bird would probably be able to poop it out, but 1.5 month old is still really young and that concerns me.

I'm hoping someone with a similar experience will pop in and give you advice, but I would seriously look into nearby veterinarians. Even if they don't advertise being a bird vet, some will still let you bring it in so they can assess the situation. They could possibly help you or tell you where else to go.
The vet by me is not a bird vet, but still sees my chickens if one gets an injury.
