Lily swallowed a chewy
« on: October 19, 2005, 08:48:48 pm »
Lily got a hold of a rawhide chewy off the top of the fridge.  At first she was chewing it nice so I didn't take it away.  I went to put my youngest down for a nap and when I came back it was gone.  She swallowed the whole thing.  It wasn't very big.  Maybe 2"x3", but I'm worried about her now.  You think she'll be ok?

Sophie swallows them all the time expecially the smaller rawhide chips.  I try and get them from her before they get too soggy but she's fast and looovvvvveeees sss rawhide bones.   I think lily will be fine just make sure her potty breaks are normal for the next couple days.

I would just keep an eye on her and watch out for anything unusual.  It sounds like the chew wasn't too terribly big, so I think she'll be alright.

Tell Lilly no more scaring her mommy like that!!!

I know right? lol.  She's going to give me a heart attack.  I'll keep watching her.  So far nothing unusual.   :)

I love your new avatar!! I can't believe just a couple of weeks ago you were thinking you were going to have to find a new home for Lily because she wasn't getting along with Raven!! They look like best buds now!

Ah yes, the swallowing of a rawhide!  Brings back memories of being totally FREAKED out when Koby swallowed his.  I swear the peice he downed was HUGE!  I was thinking blockage surgery for sure.  Nope a couple of days and it passed, you could definitely tell when it decided to come out, but it did pass thank god!  Just keep an eye on her like everyone said and I'm sure she'll be fine.  I won't even tell ya about the time Koby passed a whole flippin' corndog stick, SUPER GROSS! :o

They still have their moments, but for the most part they are great together now.  Lily's not going anywhere. :)

I don't think I told everyone the time Raven ate not one but 5 whole ears of corn.  Now that was disgusting. lol :D

If you've ever read my "Grace swallow this" posts...you'll know I mean it when I say she'll probably by fine. 
Grace eats EVERYTHING and it always comes out the next day. :)  If your pup starts acting weird or feeling sice take her to the vet or call to see if you should or not.
