Remolacha Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 One of the dogs, I suspect Sallie but I'm not sure, ate a nylon tag collar today. I came home and found the metal name tag and the plastic buckle chewed up, but the collar itself is nowhere to be found. I looked outside as best I could (It's already dark), but the evidence was all on a dog bed in the living room, so I don't think it's outside. What should I look for? Should I start to panic yet? Everyone seems fine at the moment. It could have happened anytime today, but the leftover bits were dry, so I don't think it just happened. Someone ate a leather buckle collar a month or so ago, but I found the metal buckle, so I wasn't as worried, and no one had any problems.

Sambuca Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Did you find any pieces of cloth? If so, were they small pieces? If so, hopefully the rest of the collar went down in small pieces. The dog may vomit it up. You may find it in poop in a day or 2. Or worst case scenario, it could cause a blockage. If any of the dogs start to act off, even in a week or 2, bring them to the vet, because the blockage could show up later. Keep on the look out, hopefully it comes out soon and painlessly.

Remolacha Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 No pieces of the collar (it was red). I am really hoping she chewed it up in small enough pieces to not cause a blockage I say "she", it could be Fletcher, but I doubt it.

Sambuca Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Unfortunately, even chewed up it can cause a blockage if it balls up. I hope you see it soon in a heap of nastiness on your kitchen floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
