On Saturday we went to a festival and got home late, I didn’t want to make the dogs go to bed right away, so I said let’s watch a movie and let them play. Dogs decided they didn’t really want to play but got up to snuggle with us and we all fell asleep. An hour or so later they decide to get up and play, we’re still sleeping, we wake up at 3:00 am to the sounds of Rizzo chewing a blanket, that she stole off of the couch. Pick it up and realize she chewed and ate quite a large amount. Called the vet first thing in the morning and they said it’s probably too late to do anything but go ahead and bring her in. So we did, vet says same thing, it’s probably already passed through her stomach, we can induce vomiting or take the wait and see approach. I didn’t want to put her through the vomiting for no reason but I also didn’t want to take the chance, so the vet says since I withheld breakfast there shouldn’t be any food in her belly, we can do an X-ray and if her stomach is full we know she has blanket in it. Well sure enough it was full, so we went ahead with inducing vomiting, she puked up large chunks of blanket enough the cover the bottom of a big dog bowl! I’m so glad I took her in, I don’t think she could have passed all of that.
Today I get home and let the dogs out, about 10 min later Rizzo is standing at the back door and Sully has something that he’s eating, I go out to see what it is and he has something furry sticking out of his mouth, I try to get him to drop it but he says no way momma! And starts chomping faster I can hear bone crunching and looks like a leg sticking out of his mouth, I try to get it again and he gulps it down! I’m thinking it was a rabbit but I really have no idea what it was. Called the vet and they said they wouldn’t induce because of th bone and he should be able to break it down and process it just fine, just keep an eye on him.
Sully is almost 9 and he’s chased critter for his whole life without success, but in the last year he caught a garter snake and a squirrel, both he gave up right away. And now some mysterious critter that apparently was too tasty to let go. 🤦🏻*♀ So now I’m on high alert and poop patrol to make sure he’s good.
