Sorry it's been a while, my teenager has mono so I've been at home with her and have no internet at home.

Pip's doing great! We're going in for a BA test next week. I have a feeling it was the tennis ball though, it was the "chuck it" kind (pink / purple) found in pet stores. The middle has a weird rubber material that he had chew a bit out of plus half of the felt on the outside. I've since thrown the other one away. I'll ask the vet about the possibilities of the rubber being stuck in his intestines.

Luckily we don't have any black widows in our neck of the woods though I did check him from head to toe and didn't see any cuts / bites / marks / etc. He is about to lose his first tooth though!

Thanks for the concern and warm wishes,
Pip & Deirdre
