Guest wrldruler Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Well, Nelly is at it again. Just a minute ago she snatched a thin fleece glove off the table and seems to have eaten it in its entirety. she keeps making a funny "somethings stuck in my throat" noise but other wise is fine----so.....do i 1. give her peroxide to make her throw it up 2. call e-vet and take her there immediately 3. just wait to see if it passes and she poops it out tomorrow 4. scream (see this link for details of glove http://www.landsend.com/pp/ThermaCheck100S...p;origin=index) please help Edited February 25, 2008 by wrldruler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SkinnyLegDogLover Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 How about calling the e-vet and get his opinion? They'll usually tell you over the phone. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 That's what I'd do. With something soft like a glove, I might even wait till tomorrow. Often they'll just honk it up again, and I imagine it'll be too big to pass out of the stomach.

Burpdog Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'd call the e vet asap. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyladydown Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Be very careful of soft stuff - something like that could easily cause an obstruction and if that happens you only have a few hours to get the dog to surgery.

Guest HeatherDemps Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'd call the emergency vet AND scream. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 She ate it whole!?!? I'd be worried if she threw it up she might choke and if it passed, it might get stuck b/c a glove is pretty big. I'd call a vet. My guess is they'll say to wait and see...but I'd at least call.

Guest wrldruler Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 oh yes, she ate it whole--the good thing is its a very light weight thin glove from lands end, the bad news is this is the second pair she has eaten this winter--dumb mommy--last time this happened i didn't realize the gloves were missing util they were all passed safely the last pair was a bit smaller--she actually ate both the gloves, pooped one out and threw one up this time i am freaking cuz i know it happened as we wrestled the second glove for her jowls called e-vet but upon their recommendation we have decided to monitor her tonight, first thing in morn we call regular vet, bring her in and go to e-vet at that time for xrays if we have to unless she gets sick tonight then we go right to evet either way, she is laying around like usual, so we will wait and see aaahhhhh, you can view my weekend post regarding her chewing up our coffee table on saturday--that was after a 2 mile walk!!! Love her love her love her!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicocat Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I would just watch for distress for now. While my boy Chico was stlll in the race kennel he ate a little girls glove (she had been in the crate petting him). No one realized he had gotten it until it showed up about a week later in his poop. I hope it turns out to be just as uneventful an experience for Nelly.

Guest HeatherDemps Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Also checking in for an update.... sounds like you have your hands full with this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wrldruler Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) Update 2/24: We called 3 vets. The e-vet said "bring her in immediately, and bring your best credit card" -- OK, I made up the credit card part. The other two vets said just to monitor her. So we've been monitoring. The glove incident happened on Wend night, and it is now Sunday morning. No sign of the glove yet. 100% normal eating, 100% normal poops, and our normal happy dog. I (DH) have examined every poop and no signs of any glove fabric. She has thrown up a little bit twice. Once on Friday night, and once this Sunday AM. But they look like her "normal" vomit (yes, she upchucks every now and then). The first one looked like an empty stomach vomit, and the next had some kibble. Just her normal orange color. These vomits *may* have coincided with her recent interest in eating large amounts of snow. I have put a stop to snow eating. This has been driving us crazy. Where is the glove? Is it in her tummy? is it in her intestine? Is it possible she didn't eat the glove? Is it possible there was no glove in the first place? Is is possible we don't even own a greyhound? Is it possible she is just a poltergeist, sent here to make random accesories disappear, and to drive us crazy? Now the serious question: So it has been 3.5 days with no real signs of stress. Could a glove still be in her, but not come up in a vomit, and not cause any blockage in the intestines? Is there some gut pergatory that it could be sitting in? Could it really take a week to pass like with Chico? Is it possible that she 100% digested the light-fleece material? Thanks everyone, Chris Edited February 24, 2008 by wrldruler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jettcricket Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 ...if she were my girl, I'd take her in so they could x-ray to see if and where it is. Like stated earlier, although the gove was thin, it's still a lot to be in her system. Just for peace of mind..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicocat Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 It took about a week for Chico to pass a little girl's winter glove. Quote Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Yes, it could still be in her and not causing any harm, but you do need to keep monitoring vigilantly. I seem to remember hearing several tales here on GT of dogs eating socks and gloves etc and no sign of them for quite some time and then they're either thrown back up or passed. Personally, I'd get back to the vet you trust most and have another word with them. Let them know how long it's been and ask them what they recommend.

Guest wrldruler Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) We have a glove !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yay :yay :yay :yay After exactly 4 days, she upchucked the entire glove today. I don't know where in her gut this glove has been hiding, but it finally saw the light of day again. We're a very happy mommy & daddy.
