| Teddy Ate Tampons! So last night my dog did something out of his charactistics, He went potty in the house(both) right after each other and I noticed his poop was borderlining dirrhea. Well i thought it was because of the rawhides I had ben giving him so I went to bed and early in the morning I heard him hacking and thought it was just the hunger sickness(which I why i give him a snack before bed and this has stopped his throwing up in the morning) and so I fed him alittle and went back to sleep. Then at noon when he woke me up whining I was getting ready to take him outside when i smelled it. I thought he had went potty in his crate(which he only does when I leave him home alone, today I WAS going to buy him a smaller crate) Well so i put him in the tub and was rinsing off his paws and was going to take him out when he threw up and this wod of something came out. then i looked in his crate and realized he had gotten sick and then saw what it was.. he had gotten into the bathroom trash a few days ago and actually ate tampons! I wasn't sure if he had ate them or not I thought he dragged them out and hid them(the house was a bit messy due to husband leaving for deployment) and so I've been searching for them!! I took him to the emergency vet(which isn't connected to my petsmart very unfortunately) and he had to get x rays but while waiting teddy just kept throwing up in the separate office room(before we went in there he was so active and playful and wanting peoples attention) and then when we were waiting for the doctor he was just getting sick all over the place and it was like snot and then because whitish. The doctor took the xrays and said there wasn't any big blockage but one spot was bugging him and he wasn't sure what it was and said he could do a test (which woudl cost over 300 dollars alone) or surgery which would be over 250 or he could pump him full of pinicillin, fluids and a throwing up represser and see how he does. I decided on that since my bill was already nearing 200 and since it was a small matter in the xrays. He's on a bland diet but I'm waiting an hour to see how he does with holding water down before I try to feed him anything, so far so good. it just figures the ONE time I forget to close the bathroom door. BTW he didn't eat the applicators or wrappers.. only the tampons themselves and I thought there was no way he could of ate them and no way he'd even want to. I was wrong! Be careful with my lady products!! Here are his Xrays: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b9...rds/file_1.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b9...rds/file_2.jpg

| One of my girls chewed parts of a box of tampons that I had sitting on the floor. Thanks for the warning. I will put them out of reach.
