The Joys of Pet Ownership
Jan. 3rd, 2010 07:56 pmJust when we think we've got the house dog-proofed, the dog proves us wrong.
The dog got into my sewing stuff when we went to the grocery store & ate a safety pin. She also ate a purple gel pen and some of that iron-on hemming adhesive stuff.
Of all the freaking things to eat... we took her to an ER, the x-rays didn't reveal if the pin was open or closed. Tomorrow we've got to consult a specialist who can hopefully remove the pin endoscopically. Been trying to induce vomiting w/hydrogen peroxide, but it seems she's hp-vomiting proof. Usually, when she eats weird crap, she'll puke it up, so that's what we're hoping for.
