Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Possible Blockage...from a tampon :/ Empty

Alright, I have to admit, I don't know which one ate a few pieces of a tampon, but one of them did. The incident probably happened Thursday night, but could chav been Thursday during the day. I found the middle piece and the string in Teddy's mouth, and then found another chunk of iron the floor. I'd assume that whoever ate it, at 2/3 of the tampon.

It has been almost 48 hours, and so far each dog has been pooping, eating, running around like an idiot, sleeping,urinating, and drinking normally. There has been no lost of interest in food, treats, or chews. No one yelps when I palpate their tummy, and no one is vomiting.

When can I stop freaking out? I took Teddy in for an x-ray and nothing showed up. The vet and vet tech said it was in pieces so it will probably just run its course, but I'm a nervous wreck.

All that said, it could have happened before then and I didn't know.

I feel terrible right now.

P.S. it was not a used tampon, and the applicator was not included.

If they aren't showing any signs after 48 hours I imagine you can start settling, but I would still just monitor their BM for the next several days just to insure they aren't digesting slowly. When Kenzi eats something I'm unsure about I give her a little olive oil or castor oil to slick the process along.

O.k., not to sound creepy, but, my son in law did work for Kimberley Clarke sometime ago headed different departments at different plants and one was fem-care products. Chewed up and eaten the stomach acid should break it down and pass it without a problem. I would guess that if it was still intact that it would have swollen soon after being swallowed and problems would have already started. So be guarded but I think the dogs might be o.k.

Hughie, you've got more nerve than I do. Being a lifelong bachelor I wasn't even going to touch that topic - but what you said does make sense.

I know - and logic tells me to calm the f down...being a worried dog mom won't let me.

I don't think they are digesting slowly - last night they had raw, but today I gave them grandma lucy's because it has a higher fiber content to hopefully ease anything out if necessary
