Erny Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Just stick him up on the wall and he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Ooohh.. I don't know- but I'd be phoning a vet ! Have no idea what happens to blutak when digestive juices hit it... it could dissolve, or form a hard ball, or ...... Hope the dog is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Just stick him up on the wall and he'll be fine. Write a message on him first. Yep just ring your vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Sorry 4Paws .... couldn't help myself. I've not had the experience you described but I'd presume that it will most likely pass through his digestive system. Be on the look out for any signs of discomfort; illness; alteration in behaviour and obviously seek Veterinary attention if this occurs. Oh - and of course, look out for it in his stools so you know when/if it has passed through. I've had my own harrowing experiences from when Kal ate plastic wrap and freezer bags. Nothing short of a huge relief when I saw it in the doggy do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erny Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Don't follow this suggestion as it might be unneccessary and even unhelpful. But I'm thinking a dose of something like cod-liver oil (or an equivalent, if that is not 'dog friendly') might help to allow it to slide through without a hitch. Maybe something along the lines of "Omega Special Blend" oil or some such. Perhaps someone else can say whether this is a silly idea or not. Don't want to give your dog upset tummy on top of sticky tummy. 4Paws : oh,I am sooo tempted I can only imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Paws Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Just rang a vet and they said it should pass through ok,just to keep an eye on him. he thinks it would soften,not get hard,lets hope so,now I'll just be following him around to find the result , great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
