Just got off the phone with the vet. Please send some good PT energy Jack's way. He ate a corn cob while my back was turned. I can't believe he ATE it. The vet said the next 24-48 hours are critical as to if it's going to cause a blockage on its way through. That would mean surgery. :(
They said not to try & make him vomit because then it could lodge in his airway.

I looked it up on the net & it looks like there is a pretty good chance it will just pass through.
Pray for poop!

Oh man.:( What is going on with these PT Jacks? Was it a whole ear
lengthwise, or a smaller cob? I sure hope this passes on it's own.
Sending positive thoughts & prayers for Jack.

Was it a whole ear lengthwise, or a smaller cob? whole ear. Not a huge diameter, it was a medium size ear of corn. Thanks for the prayers....

Oh, Jack, silly guy! My Freckles LOVED corn cobs, but she was smart enough to chew 'em into little pieces - try that next time, okay?

My cocker/sheepdog mix (50 pound mutt) used to love corn cobs and we never thought anything of giving them to her to chew on :confused:. She would just chew them up like an edible nylabone. I hope Mr. Jack chewed it up and there will be NO problem! Oh please, please, please...

Keep us updated.

What IS up with these Jacks? Ashley's Jack is suddenly afraid of thunderstorms, my Jack is having kidney trouble and your Jack ate a corn cob? I am hoping like a lot of others that he chewed it up real good and all will be well --- in the end. (oh, I don't believe I added that). Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Well it's been about 3 hours. He's had a cup of Kashi (10 gr. fiber). a couple ww pitas, 6 or 7 high fiber crackers, and a spoonful of yogurt with digestive enzymes mixed in. Every time I walk in the kitchen he looks at me like "What can I have next, Mom?" He seems alright.
I have to leave for a couple hours. Hope he's gonna be ok. Will let you know.

From a previous post ... on the Fine Art of Poop Checking >>>

:o
It was COLD outside when I had to do the Two-Dawg "poop check" for chickin bonez http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/rolleyes.gif

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

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

It's been 10 hours.

10 PM poop check - yup, got one delivery. Brought it in, smooshed it around without the benefit of a stink-proof bag (Well duh, Phred, I should have read my e-mail before doing a yard check.;))

I recognize a few chunky items from last night's dinner - baked potato skin.... a couple chewed up carrot snacks - hmm, looks like corn in there, too, but I don't see any "cob". :confused: Maybe he chewed it up REAL good, and maybe it just hasnt' passed yet. Will keep ya posted.

Oh Jack you silly boy!

Those boys, I tell you they will eat anything. Bon ate a small plastic bag...took about 4 days to pass!

Hopefully he chewed it up good enough. The though of having to poop a corn cob sound a little painful. Hope it all come out alright.

Keep us updated.

The though of having to poop a corn cob sound a little painful. :D You got laughing on that one, Anna! Doesn't it, though?

Good news - after cramming him full of roughage and flax seed, we got results late last night & this morning. (Lots of results, poor guy) It appears he must have chewed it into small marble-sized pieces. Hoping there's no big hunks stuck. As they say, "This too shall pass"

I feel so much better, as does Jack, I hope. ;)

yipes-
Keegan's done this before but chewed it into small enough pieces that I didn't even THINK of a blockage. And everything came out in the end!
fingers crossed for Jack and the poop patrol!

Good job Jack.:) I'm sure he feels better now. It's a good thing that he
had chewed it enough to pass on through.:)

Are you doing a Forensic Reconstruction of the Khorn Khob?

How many "marble-sized pieces" does it take to make one Cob?

:p

I feel so much better, as does Jack, I hope. ;)

Just catching up on this news. What a silly boy. As I was reading, I kept hoping he chewed a LOT.

No, Jack is NOT feeling better! He WAS getting all sorts of goodies from mom --

He's had a cup of Kashi (10 gr. fiber), a couple ww pitas, 6 or 7 high fiber crackers,
and a spoonful of yogurt with digestive enzymes mixed in.

Every time I walk in the kitchen he looks at me like "What can I have next, Mom?" -- and now just as suddenly all that has stopped. He must be trying to think what he did to get so much attention and so many goodies! I just hope he does NOT figure it out and repeat this! :eek::D

Prayers that he will be fine after this wee adventure.

Are you doing a Forensic Reconstruction of the Khorn Khob?:p:eek: Mmmmmm, let me think..................... :pNAH

(But I did do a reconstruction last year when Sherman ate his plastic food scoop.* That was interesting.:rolleyes: )

:DSat. update: Lots more "deposits" last night - still all reasonably swallowable pieces.

*PS - I use a metal food scoop now.

I'd imagine reconstructing a Khorn Khob from Byte-sized pieces would be
"interesting", too. :p

Are you going to be using metal Khorn Khobs, in the future?

My dalmatian Cassie (14 years old) would eat everything....she has been called a billy goat on more than one occasion....I remember coming in from school, letting her outside, coming back in and finding faint bloody pawprints on the kitchen floor...well, the ding dong had jumped up and grabbed a wooden handled knife off of the kitchen counter, took it to her bed, held the KNIFE BLADE between her paws so she could chew the wooden handle off.....Her favorite things were my son's baby socks...we never knew when she stole them and ate them, but we would find them pooped out all over the backyard! She has always and still is a paper fiend! Loves to snitch any kind of paper and eat it...but she is 14 years old today, so I guess we have been very lucky, she never got an obstruction or something! Silly dog.....
