Oh NO! My sweet Sassy ate tin foil! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

sammiz · 06-23-2008, 04:06 PM

I have these two rescue kittens and I had made them two little balls (squished and rolled up hard) from tin foil to bat around. They just love them. I never even considered that Sass would chew on/eat it! But she did.

I don't know how much she might have eaten. It was still partly intact and there was quite a bit shredded up around where she was chewing it. I got none out of her mouth because there was none in hter. I don't know if she actually ate any of it or just chewed it up.

I called the vet and am taking her in for x-rays tomorrow. Anybody else had a similar problem and if so, what did you do and how did it turn out?

I am soooo distressed!

Oh you poor dear. My TJ will try and tear up anything. But he hasn't gotten any tinfoil yet. PTL Hope everything turns out for you. My prayers are with you for a good turn-out.

Thank you so much for your response. Tomorrow will tell the tale after the x-rays. I am praying for no surgery necessary.

I can't even believe it happened. I never thought for a minute that she would chew that ball of foil. It couldn't have smelled good. It was a brand new piece. Nothing to attract her and she isn't a 'chewer'....she almost never gets in trouble.

My poor baby.

Keep us updated on Sassy please! Hope everything goes well at her appt this morning

red98vett · 06-24-2008, 04:51 AM

These little stinkers will eat anything !! Let us know what they say and I really hope she passes whatever she did ingest on her own

hugs girl !!

jencar98 · 06-24-2008, 05:04 AM

Oh No!......I hope she is all okay, Sammi. Maybe she didn't eat enough to hurt her and it will just pass. The very thing you think she wouldn't be interested in chewing and she does....just like a yorkie.....silly dogs!

Do keep us updated, please.

Patti · 06-24-2008, 05:35 AM

Hopefully if she ate any it was a small amout and she will pass it ok. It always amazes me that these dogs can be so picky with dog food and then eat the strangest things!!!lol Let us know how she is doing

Nikki+2 · 06-24-2008, 07:18 AM

Checking in on Sassy. Those little buggers sure know how to keep us on our toes. Hope the vet gives you the all clear and at worst you have some shiny poo to look for.

yorkieusa · 06-24-2008, 10:20 AM

So sorry! They will eat anything. Mine will, too. I have to watch her so closely when we're walking, because she will pick up anything at all.

LunasMomma · 06-24-2008, 11:53 AM

Oh good heavens! These little brats sure keep us going!!! My Izzy is the one here that will eat anything, I caught her with my son's leather belt yesterday. Fortunately she has a cast iron stomach!

I hope your Sassy is A-OK

Prayers on the way

Epsilon · 06-24-2008, 11:55 AM

Any updates on the little girl?

Sandysbabies · 06-24-2008, 12:18 PM

I am so sorry. I hope she will be okay. Kayla is going to turn my hair gray if she doesn't settle down. They will eat anything that doesn't eat them first. We have had a couple of major scares too. Praying for your baby.

sammiz · 06-24-2008, 12:52 PM

Thanks to everyone for your expressions of concern. I couldn't get an appointment until 3:40 pacific time, so we will be leaving shortly.

When I called the vet they said either x-ray or wait and see if she passes it on her own. I can't take the chance that it will all come out and any chance of intestinal blockage scares the beejeebees outa me. So I opted for the x-ray because if I didn't and something hapened to her and she suffered because of me, well....you know. It would kill me, I think.

I will post as soon as we get back home, and once again....thank you all so much!

daisy mae06 · 06-24-2008, 12:54 PM

Praying she is ok....

erino77 · 06-24-2008, 01:10 PM

Glad to hear you got her in to the Vet. I'll check back for an update
