Plastic update: he also ate THIS! p.3

[cyber-sibes]

:eek: Sherman ate the handle off a plastic measuring cup (that should have been inside the food bin, my bad). I found the chewed up cup part, but I'm worried that he may have a 2" hunk in him. He must have eaten it while I was out to dinner. No sure if I should try to make him hurl it up or not. Or if that would cause more damage? I'll go call the after-hours vet and hope he gets back to me soon. :(

[Freedom]

Oh no, Pat, what did the vet say????

[DrKym]

Sherman! tht was rather Nawtee!
Is he a very destructive chewer? as in would he have chewed it up tiny? or is he more of a few chews and gulp kinda guy?
It makes a difference only in that if he chews like Rusty its likely to be tiny and will pass soon on its own, if he isn't then you may have more to worry about.

Also I am sure you have already done this but have you looked for the remains of the handle EVERYWHERE?? (hoping that maybe he has it hid for later chewing pleasure kinda like bubble gum :rolleyes: )

I really hope all is well please let us know how he and you are doing, and what the vet reccomends!

Hugs

Not sure if I should try to make him hurl it up or not.
Or if that would cause more damage? :(

:eek:
NawTee Dawg!

I would *NOT* have him try to hurl it up -
IF it is a large piece, it could become wedged and/or do damage coming back up.

Usually the throw-up to eliminate is only done with SOME poisons.

When the Two Mutts gobbled up a 1/2 chicken worth of cooked chicken BONES;
the ER Vet suggested QUICKLY feeding them multiple slices of white BREAD -
idea being to have the partially chewed bread form a "protective wrap" around the bones in their tummies ... and "pad" the trip out the rear end.

I "bagged" and "examined" dawg poop for TWO WEEKS - *watching* for bone fragments.
(Never found a single piece!)

I'd bet the Vet suggests an X-ray be taken.

Best Wishes!

I reached his vet. He told me to give him LOTS and LOTS of fiber tonight, but not to overfeed. (??Didn't really say how much to feed him.)
I mashed a banana into a cup of high-fiber cereal and fed him some. I'll give it to him again in 15 minutes or so. His vet said that usually dogs pass things like this with no problem. I just have to keep an eye on him & his stool for signs of trouble, and be ready to take him in if he gets distressed.

I just talked to his vet last week, and we've been working on changing how I feed Sherman because he's gotten into the habit of inhaling his food. So now I only feed him a small portion, but several times a day. I think he was just plain hungry. I also just found a chewed up empty bag of Yummie Chummies under the table. It was half full earlier tonight. This is the first time he's ever chewed anything up like this & ate it.

[Glacier]

I'd just watch him for any signs of distress--difficulty with bowel movements, lethargic, refusal to eat, vomitting. Giving him some bread is a good idea. My vet has suggested that in the past too. Chances are it will pass on it's own without any trouble.

[Glacier]

Yummy Chummies are irresistable. Even my cats will rip a bag of them open given a chance!

My dogs have chewed up a fairly amazing number of things(including the windshield wipers right off Stuart's car!). None of them have got a blockage from the chewed up stuff, although it does make for some interesting poop scooping! :rolleyes:

[DrKym]

Glad to hear that! for your sake I hope Sherman is in a poopy mood this eve. :p

[cyber-sibes]

OK, I'll go get him some bread too. Thanks for the tip, you guys. I'm worried that if I feed him too much he'll end up with bloat.

Doc Freedman said carrots, bananas, high-fiber cereal, & pumpkin would all be good. I don't have any canned pumpkin, but I do have a small pie pumpkin I could cut up - do you thnk that would be ok?
Glacier, I'm hoping those Yummie Chummies are high fiber. :rolleyes:

[Catlady711]

I hope Sherman is ok and the plastic just passes harmlessly on through his system.

I do want to give you a pat on the back for actually calling the vet at the time you made your post. It's so frustrating for me to see people on here (mostly newbies) with serious medical problems and they're asking advice on a message board rather than calling the vet. Kudos to you!

[Cinder & Smoke]

:eek:
Bread,
Yummie Chummies,
and a Hunka Plastic ...

Dunno how much more "stuff" you ought to give him tonight! :rolleyes:

Bread - 3 or 4 slices - ought to take up most of his extra space ...

Maybe wait to see if anything "appears" by morning;
THEN start adding High Fiber in the front end to complete the "Flush".

Happie "sifting"! :p

{{{Hugs}}}

[BC_MoM]

Yikes - silly Sherman. =\ I hope you have a nice, good poop tonight/tomorrow!

[cyber-sibes]

Whew, time for bed. He's had at least 16 gr. fiber tonight:
1 c. high-fiber cereal
1 banana
1 carrot
1 slice bread
and his regular dinner.
No signs of distress. No signs of anything outside yet either. At least with snow on the ground, I can follow the tracks to check things out!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Good GRIEF! :eek:

For his eating habits- check into that bowl called " Break-fast".. Its a bowl that has like cones in the bottom that forces the dog to take their time to get the food out verses gulping. I have several people that got this bowl, and the results have been great. http://www.brake-fast.net/

[Pam]

Oh Sherman, how could that possibly taste good? It sounds like you have gotten some good advice and are following through. Here's hoping that there will be a smoothe passage for that piece of plastic. :o When Bella was a puppy she ate part of a wooden clothespin that my hubby was using to keep a bag of potato chips closed. I spent quite some time scrutinizing doggie poops after that (my neighbors probably thought I was a little funny in the head as I would take a stick and sort of disect it.....TMI LOL!). At least with snow on the ground it should make your hunt a little easier. Hope Sherman will do just fine. :)

[pitc9]

Tisk Tisk...Oh Silly Sherman! Now ask yourself... did that plastic handle really taste good? :rolleyes:

Well Pat any luck this morning??
(Glad I don't have to look through poo piles I have 12+ inches of snow on the ground!! I don't think I'd have any luck finding anything)

[ramanth]

Silly Sherman! Hope it passes okay. *HUGS*

It was COLD outside when I had to do the Two-Dawg "poop check" for chickin bonez :rolleyes:

After freezing my butt off *finding* (with a flashlight) and *sticking* mid-night poohs ...
I discovered the "magic of the baggie"!
* Turn a baggie inside out
* Use it like a poop-scoop bag - your hand INside the baggie
* RE-Turn the baggie outside in - (poop IN, hand out) - **Zip** the baggie!!
* retire to the warmth of the garage
* gently :eek: *kneed* the bagged stuff ... looking & feeling for the sought-after "prize"

No MUSS, No Phuss, No STINK, easy disposal!

Talk about "TMI" :rolleyes:

oh the joys of dog ownership!!!:D been there and done that!!!

[cyber-sibes]

:D All that experience at the dogpark with poop bags is paying off. I nabbed his morning deposit and brought it in to thaw. Poking around was very productive...
several bits of blue plastic (the feeding scoop),
some bits of plastic of indetermined color (not sure what its from),
a piece of foil (the Yummie Chummie package perhaps?)
and one that threw me for a loop -
a green vinyl star about 1/2 " across! I have no idea what that came from :eek: .
Sherman got some more high fiber this morning. I'm still a bit worried about the big chunk coming through, but things look promising. At least the "traffic" is moving!

*thanks for the baggie tip Phred, the smell is pretty obnoxious.

well atleast you are finding things, that is a good sign that things are working their way out!! :D

[Kfamr]

Silly Sherman and POOR PAT! Searching for stuff in poo is NOT fun, been there done that! Hope everything passes well.

[Blue_Frog]

I'm glad to hear that things seem to me 'moving right along' so to speak :)

We had a husky/wolf mix when i was a lot younger (about 7 years old), and being the little s**t that i was, i was teasing him with a balloon - blowing it up and making it squeak at him - until i lost the grip on it, and it went zipping around the kitchen. *snap* right down the dog. Man, I was in such trouble ;)

My mom frantically called the vet, who gave her some advice about feeding, and if the dog started having issues to bring him in to see them.

So, for the next few days we were dilligent on the poop-patrol, checking for the balloon to make its way out. And, a couple mornings later we came across the most disgusting surprise ... a half blown up balloon attached to a rather large dog offering.

And i guess, alls well that ends well in 'the end' ;)

[DrKym]

Well Sherman, all I can say is "marshall "up the reserves! Your Mom is being very put upon having to check presents from you!.

Goofball says she isn't going to be your valentine if you don't treat your Mommy nice and give up all the "nicked treasures" .

Pat, I am glad to hear that things are moving along for you, how is feeling otherwise? I really am trying not to giggle but if it makes you feel better we followed Goofy for nearly 4 days, she had eaten a small vial of glitter glue :rolleyes: , needless to say her presents were quite festive! She did eventually pass the top portion a few days later.

Gotta love the furkids!

Phred this is a great idea! My only thought was that for this type of *operation* I would be sure to use the very best :D (brings to mind a Hallmark commercial). :p In other words, a Glad baggie or something reliable like that - no dollar store baggies that might *fail* for that job! :p :p

Pat, I am glad you are finding pieces of plastic. We will keep our fingers crossed that Sherman's plumbing keeps moving things right along. :o I am now thinking that, with all of the other things that you have found, we all might be in for a surprise if we did sporadic poop exams! :eek:

[anna_66]

Pat I'm very glad to hear that the "presents" are coming out fine...
boy I'm so glad I'm not your right now :D :p ;)

[gini]

This gives a whole new meaning to "scavenger" hunt..............

I just hope Sherman is alright - (and you are too!)

A green vinyl star indeed - it's a little late for Christmas - how about a red heart instead?

[cassiesmom]

Sherman! Such a time you've had :( Please don't eat things your mom hasn't picked out for you. I want to see your sweet face on my monitor for a long, long time. Ask your mom to please give you and Star a great, big hug for me.

[cyber-sibes]

Ask your mom to please give you and Star a great, big hug for me.OK, hugs are delivered! Well, I've kept up his high fiber diet, still getting lots of little chunks of plastic. I'm hoping this is a good sign that maybe he didn't swallow down any large chunks. He certainly seems energetic and his appetitie is as big as ever...just don't want him helping himself to any more treats Our unusual "scavenger hunt" will continue for a few more days... :rolleyes:
Does he look guilty or what?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/cyber-sibes/IMG_1583.jpg

[Daisy and Delilah]

Awwwwwww!!! He does look like the cat that ate the canary :eek: You're adorable sweetie!! It sounds like the plastic is pretty well in small pieces and all may be well. I sure hope so! :)

[Dorothy39]

Sherman looks Guilty, without a doubt!!!

He has gotton into Plastic, taking his time, Thank God!!!


The discovery of a *Green Star*~ in a Baggie ~was the tip off~

It seems to me that all will be well with Sherman (sigh of relief here)!!!!

This has been such a Great Thread to Read Cyber-sibes, as , I often worry about the "P" word with my dog too!!!

OHHH, The things our Dogs put us Through~ :o

[cyber-sibes]

So far, it's been very small bits of platic that are showing up. This morning there are some much larger pieces - like 3/4" long and curved - I'm hoping this is the plastic with the loop end of the cup. Sherman also threw up some clear liquid this morning - he's never done that before. I would think that with 3 days of non-stop high fiber, (with plenty of results :rolleyes: ), if he had a blockage, nothing would have gotten through. If he throws up again, I'll check with the vet.

Nobody needs to respond, I'm posting to make myself feel less worried. It's probably nothing.

It's a little late to suggest this ... but have you "saved" the pieces of plastic?
You could get an idea of how much of the missing cup has been "accounted for" -
and how much could still be "undergoing procesing" inside Sherman.

As long as the "production line" is still pushing out "product" ... it's a good sign!

Do you feel "less worried"?
I bet not ... but TRY not to worry (too much). ;)

I know exactly what you mean Pat. I had the same concerns when Maggie
ate a plastic fork. :rolleyes: I think I continued to check "output" for a
month afterwards. I was amazed at the size of some of it, but like Phred
said, as long as he keeps pooping stuff, it's a good sign. Hugs to you both.

p.s. No he doesn't look at all guilty, just handsome. :)

[borzoimom]

Throwing up can be signs of an obstruction- well worth the piece of mind in the x ray... Plastic can not show up in a x ray- but the results can show in extended belly etc.

[pitc9]

Is the bad boy still leaving gifts for you? :p
Or do you think it has all come out?

[cyber-sibes]

:eek: :mad: That bad boy has been badder than I thought!

When I went to my aunt's funeral Thurs, I had the dog sitter come to give them dinner. I left her a check that would cover my week away & that night in an envelope in front of their food bowls. I talked to her on the phone last night because she left another invoice... :confused:
Apparently bad boy Sherman ATE the CHECK!!! She said she had found bits of what looked like envelope when she came in to feed them. She said, "Aren't you glad you didn't leave cash?" We had a good laugh about that!

I got called in to work at the store a few hours Sat. night, and came home to the copies of our 2005 tax return (which I left next to the copier on TOP of my desk) strewn all over the floor, with most of the edges chomped off. :mad: I spent Sun. ironing & taping the bits back together so I could send copies to my hubby.
I don't know what's going on with him. I got each of them a huge hoofie to chew on yesterday, maybe he's tired of chewing now, cause everything's intact this morning. :rolleyes:
Oh yeah, your question - I think the plastic has passed, I didn't see any in yesterdays "deposit".

[pitc9]

Oh SHERMAN!! :eek:

You are a naughty naughty boy for sure!!!
(but Sierra and Buddy are in awe of your recent treaures you've found and destroyed :o )
Is your mommy going to be forced to put you in a rubber room?! ;)

[DrKym]

SHERMAN!!! :eek:

This is not April Fools! And if you eat the taxes how will you get new toys?!
Not to mention that if you dont like the sitter it is customary to play hide and seek and lock her out (yes my kids have done that) not EAT HER PAY!! :p


If this is totally new behaviour , and it is just a thought... I had a Rottie years ago that would chew weird stuff when she was having tooth issues. She wasn't normally a chewer either, and after a few trips to find stuff stuck, bits of grass and twig in her molars, we figured out that when the weird chew stuff happened it was time for a dental.

Just a thought.

[cassiesmom]

Sherman, honey, I'm sure my niece (who is in 9th grade) would be very happy if you'd like to nibble on her homework! :) Seriously, though, making paper a snack might be not such a good idea. I know your Mom gives you healthy food and treats so please eat those instead, okay honey? Because I think you and Star are beautiful and I want you staying that way for a LONG TIME.

[cyber-sibes]

Sherman, honey, I'm sure my niece (who is in 9th grade) would be very happy if you'd like to nibble on her homework! :) I'll send him right over! He may not go into a rubber room, but he's going get his furry butt kicked back outdoors if this keeps up! ;) More plastic pieces surfacing today, got any ideas how long it takes to clear out a digestive tract? :(
He was at the vets a couple months ago for a check up, and I don't see anything going on with his teeth. I think he got bored - I was gone for 7 days, no lengthy runs at the dogpark. Maybe he deceided to break a few rules and test out a few "off limits" goodies, and now it's a bad habit. Little bugger ate my chapstick today. In spite of the sub-zero weather, I took them out to the park the past couple days. Not that they mind the frigid temps, oh no, they laid on the snow at the park after racing around & around & around. :rolleyes:
I'll keep checking for foreign objects.

[Love That Collie]

Sherman you naughty guy!!

What does Star think of all of his Shennigans?
I remember what Sherman "thought" of Star's tangle with the
skunk and how she had to be de-skunked. LOL

[cyber-sibes]

Star is pretty nonchalant.
"Hey - don't look at me, I just chew on squeekies! Now whose the 'good dog', huh, Mr. Goodie-four paws?"
(Photobucket seems to be having issues this morning, I'll just upload her pics)

[lizbud]

Star probably thinks little brothers are a big pain sometimes. :D It does
sound like boredom set in when you were away. As I've said before, gosh
I wish we lived closer to Findlay park so my pups go burn off some energy.
It must be so nice to go daily if you want to.

I am glad Sherman didn't chew up something like a tax refund check. :eek:

[Husky_mom]

I havé been following this since day one.........and I can say not so happily that China is a gold member in the chewing-what-you´re-not-supposed-to club..........

naughty Sherman......please stop chewing up stuff, mommy is worried......and so do we......

btw........SMOOCH........on that Shermie pic, right through the screen!!

good girl Star, teach your brother sweetie

[Logan]

I had my Lilly at the vet, yesterday, because she started throwing up on Sunday afternoon and it was constant through the night on Sunday night. Dr. Robinson gave her an injection to calm the tummy and also gave her a big dose of Barium, in case he needed to x-ray her for a blockage today. thankfully, the throwing up has stopped. But, my reason for posting is that he told me that he had operated on a Lab (I think it was a Lab), just yesterday, and pulled out two socks and a pair of ladies underwear!!! :eek: You are wise to be cautious with Sherman. Hope everything will be fine.

:eek: is right! Double :eek: :eek: ! How in the world does a dog swallow something like that? :confused:



A couple years ago we operated on a lab whos owner said the dog is always getting into his dirty laundry on the floor. (why the owner keeps putting his laundry on the floor when he knows the dog eats it, is beyond me). Anyways the dog had been vomiting, and not eating. We did barium & x-rays and showed something blocking the intestines. Once we opened the dog up, we removed a perfectly INTACT KNEE HIGH tube sock!! Unfortunately the owners had waited a bit before bringing the dog in, so we also had to remove a small section of intestine. Dog recovered just fine, and I think after the bill, rechecks, and trouble, the owner may be picking up his dirty clothes now. lol

[wolf_Q]

Sherman, don't be so NAWTEE! I have to say I love the pics though...that's a great close-up, I love the red husky snow nose. :D

I tried free run of the house with Nebo, it worked for about a week...then he decided to rip up a plant and the wicker basket it was in and spread it throughout the house. My parents decided that was the end of that...perhaps Sherman wouldn't mind sleeping in a crate while you're away? Nebo loves his, sometimes I swear he wants me to leave, because knows he'll get his milkbone in his kong. :rolleyes:

[anna_66]

I just love his pout face though. ;) :D

When I read this - I thought of this thread immediately!

RAISINVILLE TOWNSHIP, Michigan(AP) Here is a dog with expensive taste: A pit bull ate its owner's $5,000 wedding ring before being made to throw it up again. Tina Burlett had thought someone broke into her house and stole the custom-made ring. But her grandmother suspected the family dog, Missy.

X-rays showed she was right.

"I couldn't believe it," Burlett told The Monroe Evening News. "I didn't think so at the time, but it's funny now."

Missy has been caught gnawing on VCRs, electric blankets and even Burlett's diamond earring.

"I did have a dog eat a watch once," said Dr. Linda Fung of the Country Creek Animal Hospital. "Animals swallow a lot of stuff. It's not an unusual thing. We just made her throw it up."

[shais_mom]

oommyy
SHERMAN!

Keegan ate one of my grandma's nylons - THANK GOD it came out all in one piece! :eek:

[cyber-sibes]

:eek: Wedding rings? Nylons? Yuck, that sounds nasty. The folks at Sherman's kennel had a champion husky named Thor that ate jewelry. Must not have hurt him, when we met him he was going on 17 yrs. old!

Sherman seems to be off his non-food eating binge, (knock on wood)! I'll still keep checking for a few more days, but I think he's in the clear. This morning he even nudged away the cookie treat I gave him, then I watched him take it outside & bury it in the snow. I will pay more attention to leaving things around, sheesh! I'm so happy I don't have any $5000 wedding rings laying about! :rolleyes:

[shais_mom]

:eek: Sherman seems to be off his non-food eating binge, (knock on wood)! :rolleyes:
don't knock too hard -
ya don't want him to eat that too! :p ;) :eek:

[BOBS DAD]

This thread just reminded me of an incident long ago. My first born (michael, now a Sophomore in college) came running into our bedroom one Saturday morning some 15 years ago yelling, "Sarah ate a penny, Sarah ate a penny...". Sarah our second born was maybe 2-3 years old. I asked her if she ate a penny to which she said "NO". But her eyes betrayed her (as they always have and still do) I asked her again as she lowered her head and her eyes grew even bigger (the surest of all signs that she was guilty).

"Sarah... did you eat a penny"? No answer. So I tried a different approach, "Sarah honey... where did the penny go"? She opened her mouth and pointed into and downward.

So we called the pediatrician and they told us not to be alarmed, but that we should thoroughly check her bowel movements for the next couple of days. If we didn't find it to call back and they may have to do an Xray.

Fortunately we didn't have to wait long... the next morning we found it in her diapers. Didn't have to do much searching at all.

It was the "SHINIEST" penny I think I have ever seen.

[cyber-sibes]

It was the "SHINIEST" penny I think I have ever seen.This has me LOL! So...did you save her "lucky penny" to give to her when she grew up? ;)
