This is exactly why i posted, and It's good information. I don't have any friends with tiny dogs, so this is all very new. I grew up with dogs that ate everything in sight. It was par for the course, but I know that these little guys can get stopped up very fast. So when a person with a boxer tells me that their dog ate a stuffed bear, it's hard for them to understand.
The pencil actually WAS a big deal. My vet was NOT as laid back about that one, and chewie had to have a special medication to have that pass her intestines.
It's nice to know that they all do it. I know that many of them do it, but I like being reassured and it helps me not feel quite so much like I'm failing in that department. I know, though, from all of the wonderful information on here that pencils, hair, and plastic are a no no for them. Sadly, they can get obstructed quite easily with those things.
The eraser makes me laugh a little, though, so thank you for taking the time to answer. |
