This subject I just talked about on my update of my baby Peanut. Short version he got really sick and I came close to it not turning out so good because he got a hold of some fishing line. It is a long story but he is doing great I posted today how great he is doing.
But I did let everyone know what the vet told me he sees all the time with our kind of dogs. They have eaten the top knots we use. He said most are made out of plastic and cannot be picked up by x-ray. Even if they are small if they have any kind of stretch in them it could be really bad. It catches small bits but stretches to catch more and by the time you see the back up and gases, it is bad.
Peanut doesn’t really like to wear them but I thought about this when he told me this and thought I would do some research. Question here... you know how they make dissolvable stitches. I believe they work and dissolve when they get wet more and more. If top knot bands could be made of a fiber like that it has to be good? Anyway just wanted everyone to know and please be careful . |
