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’m with you there Doudou, as long as it works for them!
I actually had to set the record straight with my vet, who said to me, "I know you’re a huge advocate for BARF." Err, no, not quite – I’m a huge advocate for whatever is best for my little monster, whether that’s BARF or crusts of bread!
No more accidents since last night, though she had a bit of a soft stool this morning.
She’s on cooked carrots and raw beef for now. There’s been a definite improvement in the 24 hours since getting back to normal; we’ll have to see how it goes, but I’m keeping everything crossed!
Just like you ladies, it’s not always easy to bite my tongue!
😁
And you’re right, every dog is different; I don’t think there is one absolute truth when it comes to how to feed them and finding what works for them!
I’m with you, @Tityswood, when it comes to food—you have to find the right diet to suit our furry friends...
I’ve known dogs belonging to family and friends who lived on a mash of bread and water with puffed rice and table scraps... and yet they were perfectly fine... they were working hunting dogs.
Then dry food became the norm for everyone...
We’ve been raw feeding since 2012, but I’m ready to try any kind of food to help my puppy get better, if it is a dietary issue?
Don't you worry, if I really said what was on my mind, I'd have been banned from here a long time ago; I’ve found that humour and irony often sting much more. We’re living in a world where we need to stop beating around the bush, if you ask me... it doesn’t do anyone any favours, and besides, it’s a bit of a relief—well, it makes me feel better anyway! 😉
Well, there we go, the younger generation are going to teach us a thing or two with these tutorials!!! Mind you, what did we have to show off our masterpieces? A Polaroid lol! I’m also quite good at giving my opinion, though it doesn’t always go down too well lol 👎
Happy to help @Be Cool! Just so you know, I’m a world-class 'sideline supervisor'! I could manage the whole project by giving my two-pence worth! And I could even do some tutorials for those who aren’t quite as handy! 😁
Besides, there are definitely worse places in the world than the Savoie region!
It’s so important to have a laugh on pet forums! ;)
And you’re right, every pet is different. I don’t think there’s any absolute truth when it comes to feeding them and finding what suits them best!
We knew Tity wouldn't mind this little off-topic tangent – after all, the more of us "crazy" lot there are, the merrier! You've got to have a laugh in this world, even on a pet forum... 😉
Anyway, you're doing what's best for Minnie. I've known dogs who got on much better with "rubbish" dry food than with the so-called high-quality brands. It just goes to show that some diets suit certain systems and not others. 👌
HAHAHA, you lot are cracking me up! That bit about the team of pregnant women absolutely finished me off!
So, you’re planning on knocking down walls and you didn’t even invite me?!
You’re breaking my heart, @Be Cool!
Look at you trying to dodge it... It was a general call-out (on your own post, no less), so obviously you’ve been roped in just like everyone else! 😏
