yorkiemama1986 I just want to say that I know that you meant well by posting this tip, but you have to be careful when you read tips over the web. Craigslist it not a place where I would get recommendations on what to do in an emergency. I know that cotton balls can cause problems, my son's dog ate one, and it was a real cotton ball, not synthetic. It was whole and perhaps that's why it caused the problem, but it’s a 15 pound dog, and still it took a long time before it passed, about 5 days. I just don't want you to feel bad about posting the tip, you have helped educate by doing this.
