corn cob

[ashleycat]

I hadn't done the dishes yet for today and my daughter got ahold of yesturdays corn cob. I was going to do the dishes while she is taking a nap (now) and I come out to Runner eating an empty corn cob. It's the half pieces. Will it hurt her? I coudn't get to her in time because I didn't know she had it till it was too late.

My guys eat it all the time in summer with no ill effects............it will however come out the same way it went in :rolleyes:

I have seen a blockage happen with corn cob, so if it was me, I'd take it away.

I would take it away. A little bit would probably be fine- but Dr.Goodnow is right- it will come out as it went in- in pieces.. Corn is basically non digestable in dogs and leaves bulk in the stool.
Look for any signs of distress- panting- drooling, trying to go to the bathroom and cant- straining or distended belly. ..

She seems fine. I coudn't take it away. I didn't give it to her. I don't know where she got it. My daughter climbed up and got to it, where Runner found it I dunno lol. My kitchens clean now though ;)
