Eating Random Things

Wow, that must have been horrible, Patti.

It was pretty scary. I was really surprised she survived - Savannahs are amazingly resilient!!

Dental floss almost killed my F1 - she swallowed a length of floss - it got wrapped around the back of her tongue and the rest kept going. It bunched up the bowel which perforated in 19 different places. The surgeon had to cut out all but one foot of small bowel and it was touch and go for days whether or not she would survive, but amazingly she recovered completely... except now when she gets stressed she has explosive diarrhea...

wow - that is terrible!! Dental floss stays hidden at all times

Patti, that story is scary Duma almost got into the dental floss in my night table drawer--but I got it before he did anything with it. Other than that, I don't recall Duma ever trying to eat anything inedible.

My non-savannah keeps sucking on a blanket. The sound is really annoying, especially at 4am. And right now--nothing will stop him. But he will literally eat any random thing, plastic bags are a favorite.

My one, Whip ate a cat toy. He ripped it open and at the filling. He randomly stopped eating or drinking was vomiting every time he tried to walk. Took him to the vet, thankfully with some laxatives, and then some meds to calm his tummy down he did vomit up some and passed the rest. My poor boy though. he doesn't do vet visit well so he had to be put under for the x rays, it was so stressful.
