  • While refilling her pool, Rex chewed up her siphon and I think she may have eaten part of it... So off to the vet we go for radiographs! I just REALLY hope she didn't ingest a piece big enough that would require surgery.

      Your cat eats plastic too? My cat, Elim, loves to chew on plastic shopping bags. I had resolved this by going reusable, but with the pandemic, I've had to switch back. At least it forces me to put away everything as soon as I get home.

      I was looking after a dog about 2 years ago, and on a walk, he picked up a discarded nappy (diaper for Americans) which someone had decided to leave in the middle of the field. I managed to trick him into dropping it with food before shutting him in a different room, because I didn't want my hands to be that involved with some random child's poop

    The fact you immediately contacted and went to a vet for a potential ingested item is just, yes. The number of people who watch and know their pet has eaten something and wait until their animal is near dying from a blockage is far too high. No your dog will not just "pass" those socks.
    Emily is a responsible pet owner.
    Be like Emily.

      Preach, my fellow pet owner! lol. I always joke that pets are like young children. The can't tell you what's wrong, they leave their toys all over, and they constantly try to eat something they shouldn't. xD

    Thank goodness Rex is okay, especially when she’s so close to moving to her giant upgrade enclosure at the facility. I can’t imagine anything bad happening to Rex, it’s too horrible to think about.
    On a lighter note, the longer Rex has been in your care, the more her body condition seems to improve. I don’t think she’ll ever quite look normal, but her face has evened out significantly and her overall body condition has greatly improved. Can’t wait to see what she looks like after a few years at the facility enjoying her mansion 💖

    To Rex, she did a good thing, to everyone else, it’s internal panic mode.
