| Ziggy Ate Carpet Fiber! Ziggy is 4 months old and teething like mad..will put anything in his mouth! Yesterday he had diarrhea and I read on the forum about giving pumpkin. This morning his BM was back to normal...that pumpkin really works and Ziggy loved it. Being a nervous(neurotic?)new mother I took him to the vet anyway with a stool sample. The vet found what could only be carpet fiber in his BM! He said that carpet fiber could wind around the intestines and really do some damage. He said if you have new carpet it always has a lot of loose fiber to it. Needless to say, I vacuumed the carpet really good when we got back home. Luckily, Ziggy is fine but I wanted to tell everyone to be careful if you have a new puppy and new carpet. Thanks for recommending the pumpkin. The vet said it's actually very good for dogs as well as plain yogurt. I will have to watch Ziggy even closer until he gets over his teething. Guess we didn't have the house as "child proofed" as we thought. |

| My pup did the same thing when he was teething. I saw pieces of my carpet in his stool. But - he never had any problems (as the pieces were very short), and he seems to have outgrown doing this. Carol Jean |

| You know what I find in Baby's stool? My hair! My hair is so long, and falls out like crazy, that she must eat is somehow from the floor.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I know I don't think my dtr would appreciate it if I tell her she has to either cut her hair or move out!lol I have always had this happen with my dogs because I use to have waist length hair too.

| Maybe hair is okay...not nearly as strong as carpet fiber. I've heard that cats get those hairballs from grooming themselves...don't think it really hurts them. |
