My dog has been swallowing acorns and it has been very costly and making her sick. What type of muzzle would you recommend?

Full Question:
I have a min. schnauzer and we have 2 acres fenced in with 40 trees that have thousands of acorns falling well she happened to swallow an acorn and it cost me almost all the money I have to determine her problem, the acorn was in the intestines. The vet charged me 4000 dollars even though I mentioned the acorn right from the beginning. I need a muzzle that is comfortable and she cannot take off or get an acorn in her mouth I had the wrap around mesh but I don't think it helped because she is showing symptoms of having another foreign object, vomiting some. Do you have a suggestion on the type of muzzle that will be adequate for this problem, plus comfortable?

Thank You,
Dianna

This would be the muzzle I would use for your problem. http://leerburg.com/jafco.htm directions on how to measure your dog are linked to this page.

If this were my dog, I would be supervising at all times even with a muzzle. As you are finding out, a mistake can not only cost you a lot of money but it could potentially cost your dog her life.
