Audrey, I can't tell you how many times the ppl (you've got me using some of these contractions ) on this board have been through a worry like this. There is no way around it, you will worry until you realize she is going to be okay. One thing you can do in the mean time is to watch her when she poops and then check her stools. This will help in two ways. First, it will determine straight off if she is having difficulty defecating and if she did consume a whole turkey carcus, there would be bits of bone showing up in the stool. I don't know how old your dad is but presuming he is heading into middle age, it might help you to know that as one ages, the memory is the first thing that isn't quite what it used to be. Translation....it is very possible dad threw it out and just doesn't recall. Most of these situations turn out okay, but if you note physical changes in her eating or defecating or as the vet says if she seems in pain, then take her in. In the mean time, we'll keep her in our prayers.
