oh I just read the previous post, I don't know how I missed it. I'm glad Ellie was able to pass the string, and is feling better today. Yeah Hopefully she passed everything. You might want to continue to check her poop for a couple of days, to see if any comes out the other end. My 2 guys cant have anything in their cage, no blankets, no towels, no pillows, of any kind, because they eat everything, and they also cant have any small toys, or any soft, or stuffed toys for the same reason. the only toys they can have are Kong toys, and Nylabones.

So far, no more vomiting and Ellie has been acting like her normal self again. Hopefully we're in the clear. Thanks everyone!

Glad to hear Ellie is doing better the blockage situation is not a fun one, I think most of us have gone through it at this point as well. If you do end up having to take her to the vet for an x-ray make sure they do the barium one because if it is a soft tissue blockage (like fabric, sock, cloth) it will not be easy to see with a regular xray. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, just keep and eye out and make sure she continues to normally. She may have a little lack of poop being that she didn't really digest anything for a day.

Well Ellie finally decided to go and all I can say is WOW. Everything was looking great as far as it being formed and solid went until.............it wouldn't drop to the ground. So here's the ever so tiny Ellie prancing around with her back arched and a 4-5" "klingon" trailing her. So being the great bully dad that I am, I grab a couple of leaves, grab hold, and give her a hand. 8-10" (in addition to the 4-5" of klingon) of covered string and towel remnants later, we're hopefully done with this. I hope that I painted a vivid and lively picture for you guys.

So glad to hear she passed it, it's scary when that happens. My Dozer has a thing for socks, and somehow he always finds them. He swallowed socks twice, one he threw up, the other he pooped out. It's crazy what these guys will eat, I just don't understand how they don't choke on it when they swallow stuff.

One piece of advice from a friend: If there are strings coming out during a #2, don't pull it out, but cut it with scissors. Pulling the string could tighten a knot around an intestine or something. I would let them pass naturally.

Remi vomits every other day, always clear. He can sometimes overwork himself and drink too much water in one sitting, and vomit a few times over a day or two. I only get nervous if it contains food particles. I called the vet once, but he told me to give it more time, and it was totally improved the next day.

(Remi has water access at all times except during the night and when he's in the crate during the day for a few hours here and there. When he was a wee little puppy, we couldn't put water in the crate because he would just knock it over. So, when we took him out every 2 hours, we would offer him water then. Over time he no longer wanted any water at all, always snubbed it, so I'm fairly certain he's not suffering in the slightest. I would definitely just feel your dog out on that one)
