Plastic update: he also ate THIS! p.3

[lizbud]

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 ), 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.

I know exactly what you mean Pat. I had the same concerns when Maggie
ate a plastic fork. 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.

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.

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

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...
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. 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.
Oh yeah, your question - I think the plastic has passed, I didn't see any in yesterdays "deposit".

Oh SHERMAN!!

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

SHERMAN!!!

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!!


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.

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.
