Title: Penny got into something.....
Post by: Lori R. on December 01, 2005, 08:09:09 AM
About a week ago Penny lane chewed her way through a gate to get upstais, where she proceeded to eat through like 6 underwears.  Although she didn't eat the whole underwear.

If that wasn't bad enough, the next night we came home to find she ate throught the garage.  I found she ate various things and found the underwear I through out.  But this time she really went to town on them.   

Well she has been eating, going boo, and pee.  Playing everything seems to be normal.  But like 2 days ago she poo-ed out a whole piece of the underwear completely intact.  Do you think I should bring her to the vet?   She is showing no signs of being in pain or discomfort.  She is totally normal no temp....

I would just watch her very closely to make sure she is still pooping and doesn't get stopped up.  You might want to call your vet and see what they recommend. Since that material won't digest away - you want to be sure it all comes out !!!  Smoochies to Penny Lane !

I would watch her closely and possibly up her fiber intake for a few days to help things move on through.  Pumpkin is good for that.  If she stops pooping or seems to be uncomfortable or "off" then I'd take her in to the vet. 
Cajsa will get my underwear and chew on it and David's socks.  She won't touch my socks or David's underwear though...I guess it's just the way she is.  lol

I would call the vet at the very least and talk to them about what has happened.  I sure hope Penny does not get ill from this.  Sounds like you might have to stand strong and have some tough love and confine her when you are gone.
