| Gracie Update Thank You for all your prayers and kind thoughts. (I posted this morning in Sick & Emer.) Gracie will make a full recovery. Thank God, she did not need a bowel resection, none of the intestines were dead. The blockage was about the size of a mans thumb. The Vet thinks it is an owl pellet ! OMG something else to add to, the worry about list.

| I'm so glad she is going to be OK. The poor little thing. "Owl pellet?" Do you have owls living right near your house or is this something she could have picked up on a walk? We have some huge owls that live in our woods. I have seen them in the early morning hours. Have no idea what to watch for. Do you have any idea? |

| Yes we have owls close by. We have two small lakes and several public parks all within walking distance of my home. Honestly I have never thought about owl pellets. The definition I found said, owls kill small mammals and eat the bones, fur and feathers. Some parts of the bird or mammal are not digested. Owls then regurgitate a hard little capsule shaped object of bone, teeth, fur etc. It is sometimes called an owl pellet. These owl pellets can be found where owls, live, hunt and nest.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I'm glad to hear Gracie will make a full recovery I also wanted to thank you for posting this as it made me realize that at some time either an owl or one of the hawks had left a pellet in our yard (I'd found a weird looking bone & when I researched it I found out it was a squirrel shoulder blade) but didn't know at the time where the bone may've come from since there were no other bones around it. We have several hawks that hang around here so I never allow Tuffy & Bella outside alone. I also tend to follow them around the yard just to keep an eye on them.

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | I'm so glad Gracie will make a full recovery. Good catch Teresa! I had never heard of owl pellets til this post...thankfully I have no owls living near my home! However there are falcons and small hawks where i am, so I never let my babies out by themselves.
