luffy4688 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi, just realised Bailey chewed off and swallowed part of the zipper strap on his pillow cushion. It's the type where there's a cushion inside protected by a casing with zip. It most probably happen just an hour or 2 ago as if I could recall I did remember seeing it still there before that. But if could have happen before that. I could have already come out in his poop today. I'll be monitoring his poop tomorrow to check if there's anything. I was wondering if there's anything I should be aware of in the meantime and would the zipper strap hurt/cut his intestines etc since it's metal? Doesn't feel sharp but I'm still worried. God, I've learned my lesson to never get pillows or cushions with zips anymore. It was on specials at the local pet store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) make sure he is eating well.. and yes, watch his poo for the next few days. ANY sign of him being uncomfortable or 'off.. contact the vet. How much did he eat? 1/2 cm. ,3 cm, ??.... if it's a tiny piece it should sail straight through.. glad you have now learnt a lesson .no zips, buttons, ties anywhere near pups Edited September 8, 2009 by persephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mokhahouse Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Has he pooped that zipper yet? If it doesn't show up soon and he shows any signs of abdominal pain or stops pooing please go to the vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't show up soon and he shows any signs of abdominal pain or stops pooing please go to the vet. He has not pooped the zipper yet. He still behaving perfectly normal though. How much longer should I wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvsdogs Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 That's great news. The no. of times I've been worried about what Tilba may have eaten is beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luffy4688 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 That's great news. The no. of times I've been worried about what Tilba may have eaten is beyond belief. Exact same over here. Being a 1st puppy owner makes me worried even more as sometimes it's a debate should I just wait and check on his poop or should he go to the vet straight away.
