Guest TBSFlame Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 My dh and I went out to dinner tonight. When I got home I find a chewed dinosaur toy. It was made out of that rubbery plastic stuff??? I don't know who chewed it. A lot of it is gone. My grandsons were over this past week end and I have no idea where the dog(s) found it. Now I am worried. A lot of it is missing. If it gets stuck inside.....what should I be looking for? How long should I expect it to take to pass or make them sick? I always put Mem in her crate when we leave, but we were not going to be gone very long ,so I left her out. Why, didn't I just put her in her crate. It's my fault. I can't take much more. Of course, I really don't know who chewed the toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2hounds Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Oh Linda! Watch the poop for a few days and hopefully you will see the pieces. I would pay special attention to Memmy Quote 2 Hounds Design Martingale Collars | 2 Hounds Design Facebook PageAlisha, Bob, Livvie (the 2.5 year old!) plus Mia Bella, Tippy, + Wahoo and Diesel the crazy kitties (and missing sweet Iceman, Paradise, Bandit, Cujo & Sebastian) in Indian Trail, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfish Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 It all depends on how small she chewed it, but there's a good chance she'll be fine. Watch for vomiting, straining to poop, going off her food, drinking a lot (some do that if their stomach is sore), also looking anxious and standing with the belly tucked up and the back arched, head low. That last one is a sign of severe abdominal discomfort/pain. If she's eating and drinking normally and pooping on schedule and seems lively - or as lively as usual - just keep an eye on what passes. If she shows any of the signs above, get her looked at. Good luck!

Guest TBSFlame Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I was late for work this morning because I was checking 5 greyhounds poop. I had a stick and was really checking. If my boss ask me why I am late.......do you think he will believe that one? Everyone seems fine and all poop was normal this morning. I keep all my gransons toys in a locking container. I looked under the sofa this morning hoping to find more toy. There is still of lot of that body missing. Still hoping I find more of it. It all depends on how small she chewed it, but there's a good chance she'll be fine. Watch for vomiting, straining to poop, going off her food, drinking a lot (some do that if their stomach is sore), also looking anxious and standing with the belly tucked up and the back arched, head low.

If she shows any of the signs above, get her looked at. Good luck! Thanks, Silverfish. It helps to know just what I need to be looking for.
