Oh, I'm so glad you saved her! These little ones are just like having babies in the house! How awful.It's a wonder she didn't choke on it! I had to get rid of the little trash basket in my bathroom because Gracie loves to tip it over and steal anything paper or plastic related in it. She just has a thing about paper and plastic and loves to chew them. I have never given a thought to sanitary items but, gosh, they are in that category!
I'm so glad you insisted your vet see her and did not wait until they could get around to it. Your insistence helped to save her.
I hope she had a quick and complete recovery.
