She ate the barrette Penny is just getting long enough bangs that I can get a barrette to stay in. I put a barrette in this morning and 10 minutes later I saw her chewing on something. She ate half the barrette! :eek: How do you keep barrettes in your dog's hair and how do you keep them from eating them?? :confused: |
Did she swallow the other half? If she did, you need to call your vet and see what they recommend. Barrettes can cause an obstruction or even a perforation in the bowel. Hopefully, it will pass on it's own. Bands are much safer. They also stay in much better. |
I was wondering the same thing. How people get their dogs to leave them alone. |
2 Attachment(s) Ya that is why I don't use them anymore. They always finish in their mouth! I found that when I use soft hair band, they don't care as much. I think it is because it doesn't pull their hair . Not ti thigh, they don't like it and will take it off. This is what I use now, the small ones w/out the metal part. You can had the bow over it. Good luck |
I had a tiny butterfly clip in her hair to keep her hair out of her eyes, since it is getting longer. Now you see it then you don't- it was gone. I had no idea she would do this. Called my vet right away and he told me to watch her- if she started vomiting within the next 24 hrs I had to bring her in right away. If not she would pass it. She did. Now we only use bands. I hope she will outgrow this though because I am crafty and have made some cute little bows for her. I guess I will just have to use the bows on my daughters if she doesn't stop eating everything in sight!:aimeeyork |
I, too, only use bands. I put bows or barrettes in when they are being watched closely or for pictures, etc. I know my Katy would eat the barrette. I use the tiniest bands 1/4" diameter bands. I wrap them twice around and they hold well. |
The vet said to watch her, but since it was a tiny plastic barrette, it will probably just pass on through. She chewed off the straight part that keeps it closed. :( Thanks everyone! |
