Hooray for all concerned; you have a wise (and no doubt experienced vet.
Our Lucy ate a tangled mess of fishing line which we saw the last couple inches of; took her to the vet; he gave her 2 huge doses of Laxatone, said feed her extra food. Of course the usual warning of watch for vomiting, etc. ad don't pull on it if it starts out. In 48+ hours she passed it in the same manner as yours did; a "necklace of line and turds. Whew! Know exactly what you went thru. DH pulled the mess apart; it was 2 feet long. I just now read your pst, or would have written sooner. Skritches to the patient Paulette |

It was all wadded up in two BIG turds connected by the string, but came out normally. We were quite worried yesterday when she stopped pooping and even took her to the vet. Her signs were excellent. They said she was "working on it" and to give it time as she seemed to be doing well. Turned out to be the right thing. She might be a little sore down there, judging from the size of the turds, but the high drama is over for now. Yea! Marc glad it all worked out in the end! MLB |

When I was a kid, our cats used to eat tinsel off the christmas tree and it would come out of their butts. We stopped using tinsel and the problem disappeared somehow. I have a cat that will eat anything. So, there are certain items that are contraband in the house. No easter grass. He loves that stuff. He no longer eats tape cassettes, thankfully. Those weren't always easy to hidem and i had to buy tapes for other family members on multiple ocassions. We can use the tinsel garland stuff on the tree, but it has to be out of reach, and cannot be left laying around anywhere. No ribbons on packages. He also likes to eat natural brooms (my other cats refer the synthetic brooms). And we also keep rubber bands in drawers.
