Hi everyone!

I'm back on the forum to share today's disaster.

The title says it all: my little monster has eaten a sanitary towel, plastic wrapper and all.

As soon as I realised, I called the vet. We've got an appointment in 2 hours for an examination and an ultrasound.

Given the size of the thing compared to my girl, and what it's made of, the vet surgery doesn't recommend waiting for it to pass like other small items might, and they want to examine her before advising on what to do.

So here I am, worried sick, just waiting for the appointment time to roll around. It happened during the night, so it's too late to induce vomiting. I'm not really sure what's going to happen next.

As for how on earth she got her paws on the pad, let's just say my sister will definitely be sleeping out on the porch tonight.

I'd be grateful for any info on pets swallowing similar objects, especially if you've got any reassuring stories!

I’d definitely recommend checking out this survey panel https://panel.badanie-opinii.pl/, where it’s really easy to swap points for cash.

👌 I was thinking about that for Oxane, maybe it's stress? Scratching just to keep herself occupied?

But the red patches and spots are much worse with chicken...

Have you thought about a Pet Stress Scan (or whatever that thing from Be Cool and VMN is called)? Just to see if chicken is actually what’s bothering her? And to find out a bit more in general about what’s getting to her...

So chicken isn't great for Oxane.

Oh, House was brilliant, I absolutely loved it (he wrote a book a few years back in the same vein 👍, you can tell the bloke is exactly like that in real life).

I loved that show! And yeah, I know exactly what you mean, the book was fantastic, I really loved it. Not sure if you know, but he’s a great singer as well (he’s released one or two albums).

Oh, Dr House was brilliant, I loved it (he wrote a book a few years back in the same vein 👍, you can tell the guy is exactly like that in real life).

This whole time, it’s felt like I’ve been living through a doggy version of House... 😳
