My old vet used to advise dipping a cotton ball in mineral oil and shoving 
it down their throat. That was his treatment for things that were sharp that 
got swallowed. Theory being: Mineral oil will hasten the process of 
elimination and the cotton ball served to entangle the sharp object and gave 
it mass to move on through.

I am not a vet, just a reporter. Check with your vet first.
