Sorry... brain working in 3 different directions!

I was thinking induce emesis in terms of poisons if the centre had been eaten, if solid obviously emesis is a terrible option, your more than right!!

Apologies for being stupid - thank you Gillian!

It was yellow. She's been fine, is having a sleep now. Just had a rather terrible phone interview, blah, I hate begging for jobs!

I know this might sound random....... but what colour was it?? just that you will be looking at interesting coloured poo! I remember when Ruby ate a blue paintcil(paint in a pencil) of my daughters..... I never knew she had eaten it, but she had bright blue poo... I actually thought there was something wrong with her. I only clicked that, that is what she had done, when I caught her with a green paintcil in her mouth a few days later.

Althou, thorocotomy lets me get out the ventilator and play with that! Also keeps me on my toes. Having said that so does an Ex-lap!

Ex-lap is far nicer op than thorocotomy!!!! Especially if I'm monitoring anaesthetic!!!!

Thanks for your reply. I called the vets and they said to keep an eye on her, and to bring her in if she starts being sick. She's been fine so far tonight x

Was it a plastic pen? How solid was it?

I think I would be less worried about poisoning and more about the pen getting stuck.

You could always take her to the vets and induce emesis if necc?
