Re: Beeper Swallowed Nylon

Ask your vet about lots of Petlax/Petmalt (hair ball remedy).   Mai Mai, a wonderful  dog, ate then violently threw up some fabric.  There were lots of problems but there is a lot of difference between string and the stuff Mai Mai ate.  I would want to do everything I could to speed the passing of the string.  What kind of toy was it any way?                                                                   If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures                                                  from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who                                                  will deal likewise with their fellow man.                                                                   St. Francis ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Siders To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2006 3:59 PM Subject: Beeper Swallowed Nylon Beeper swallowed about 12" of nylon string from one of his toys.  Has passed by way of a bowel movement about 4".  Have called the emergency vet in Verona, Va. and was informed that if Beep's appetite remains good; he continues to drink water; he continues to go to the bathroom, everything should work itself out of his system.   If anyone out there that has had a similar experience, please let me know of any details; e.g., any other thing for which I should be aware and/or for which I should look!!  Please let me know.   Sharon Siders  All-new Yahoo!
