Called the emergency vet and they said to just give him bland bulky food, like bread, mashed potatoes, etc., to help bind it together so he passes it.
Every day when he was doing his business, I'd check the results. Nothing. I started wondering if it snuck out inside one of his turds. I started worrying it was inside him forever. Tonight hubby said it came out. Not on it's own though. The hound walked the entire perimeter of the yard trying to get it out. Hubby said about 2 inches were showing. He pulled and almost 12 more inches came out. He left it in the yard for me to inspect. (Anyone who has dogs can appreciate that I'm sure.) It was just wound up in a big long plastic tube.
Anyways, when hubby came inside to make the announcement, the hound was literally jumping in the air throughout the living room---doing the snoopy happy dance. I haven't seen him so excited in MONTHS.
The things these dogs eat. It's amazing they survive themselves.
OMGoodness is right! Dogs are the best people on earth but, my gosh, they're crazy.
I'm laughing my face off at the part that I put in bold. Been there, done that, appreciate it more than you can even know. Ha!
Glad the hound was able to finally pass it. One of the guide dog pups my friend raised (a lab) ate a pair of her then young daughters tights so they had to go on poop watch too and a few days later out came the tights. I would imagine it would sort of scrub the intestinal wall..... like scrubbing bubbles . When my dogs have eaten things I worried about passing I not only increased fiber bulk in their food but added a ton of olive oil to lets just say ' lube the tube' hoping it would slide out easier. But humor aside long things like string can cause death if they end up tangled up inside the dog.
Got $40 back that way..... One bill was complete, the other had a ripped corner. Soaked it in detergent, rinsed it and deposited it in the ATM! Money was crispy and smelled great after the wash!
Probably time to make sure all the trash is picked up and that the garbage can has a lid. I'm not sure how many times one can lucky.
There is no trash needing to be "picked up." And we keep the kitchen garbage can locked away behind the basement door!
He got the saran wrap because my husband set the leftover meatloaf too close to the edge of the kitchen counter and the hound grabbed it when my husband walked to the other side of the kitchen. They wrestled for it and my husband ended up only getting portion of the saran wrap. Once the dog has something, you can't get it from him.
The plastic baggie was what the cheese from the deli came in. It was empty. There was no cheese in it. This happened days ago and I had a hard time remembering what happened. I was making a sandwich and he snagged the empty bag. I grabbed it and thought I got the entire thing from him. Apparently I didn't. That's why I was perplexed.
I wish I could make my kitchen off-limits, but my first floor is an open concept. There's no way to keep him out of the kitchen. There is no way to train him to not grab stuff. He's very food driven, he's a HOUND.
This dog has always eaten EVERYTHING. When he first came to live with us 10 years ago, he ate all of my upholstered FURNITURE! He even ate the center of my master bedroom MATTRESS. There's a HUGE HOLE in my mattress. Thank goodness it was a flippable mattress. He eats bath soap! I could go on and on about what this dog has eaten.
It's impossible to keep everything away from him other than tossing him out into the yard and leaving him there.
