How long should it take something to work it's way through in the normal
fashion? I'm worried about the posts I've seen of things "sawing through
the intestines." YUK!

Her normal vet is open today and we will call them, but I thought I'd
post for experiences here. Basically, how long do these things take,
presuming the string passes through her without serious problems?


The string can get entangled in the intestines and never come out. She
can die. Take her to the vet. She may need surgery. If nothing else, the
vet can give her an enema and speed things along.

If the string were going to come out on its own with no problems, I'd
say 48 hours. However, after 48 hours, if it wasn't going to come out on
its own, the intestines might already be badly damaged.
