sootem Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 OH ran into the house this afternoon to tell me that French was eating something long and silver - like a silver worm. I can only think it was a piece of silver lametta blown from old christmas tree. OH thinks she ate it - and I am now worried sick.

Snowy Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Don't worry, it will probably pass right through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootem Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 I hope so but after reading the Health section about impacted crops etc I'm really worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I think if she had eaten a lot it could become tangled and form a ball in her crop, but one piece won't have much effect. I've known them eat polystyrene and all sorts of rubbish. Just keep an eye on her, check her poos and if you are worried that she looks off colour,pop her along to the vets.

Egluntyne Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Snowy's advice is spot on as always. There will be a gliterry poo tomorrow I dare say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Sparkly poo!! Ours ate a hair band once, I never found it but it didn't seem to do them much harm. She'll be fine fingers crossed Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
