:uhoh: Empty no paper. She is acting fine. Has anybody had this happen before? I have a call into the ER:doh:

hmm just a little cardboard... i wouldn't worry too much, unless she starts showing signs that somethings wrong. i have no experience with this, but i would guess it should just pass thru the system, paper gets pretty soft when wet, and hopefully she chewed it into small enough pieces

Thanks, that's pretty much what they said at the ER (I have them on speed dial !). I gave her a slice of bread, it seems like it would cushion things in her tummy.

idk if this will help or not, but a dog once ate a kitchen knife and survived.. so i think paper shouldnt be an issue :p

glad to hear the ER people said about the same as me. i have vet tech friends i can get a hold of when i need help :)

I am glad vet thinks it is nothing serious. I know you will be watching over her tonight. But be gentle with her. You don't want her to pack and leave (go to Tito, you know they are waiting there) just before the B-day party.

:) Susan Marie, I have a friend who asks me to give her our empty paper towel and toilet paper rolls to give her Goldens to eat. She swears it keeps them "regular" and keeps their teeth so clean they never need sedated dentals. They do have clean teeth. I mentioned it once to our vet and she was appalled because she thought I was giving them to Toby, with all his digestive sensitivities--I am not and for the record, he did get part of one once (thanks to the DH) and threw it up several nights later! Not all dogs can digest the cardboard I guess. My only concern is the possible chemicals in the adhesives attaching the end of the paper to the roll and also any chemicals put into the cardboard during the manufacture.

I'm still collecting the rolls for my friend and will give her a nice stash this week!

My crew run in and sit pretty for the rolls :) They love them!

My dogs are all paper eaters...they love paper towel rolls, toilet rolls, and children's homework.

My dog ate one of these:

And left nothing but the wire...

Not to mention carboard fry holders.... toilet paper rolls... shoestrings...

Well, let's just say he's had some colorful poops.

None of it ever bothered him in anyway way. Just pooped it out days later.

Just seeing this Susan Marie. Hope all is well this morning with J. Gunner has never eaten a whole roll but has eaten his share. No problems with him. Keeping :crossfing:crossfing:crossfing for a good report this a.m.

All of my previous goldens loved paper but out of the 4 that I have now only one does. She doesn't care for the nice clean paper. She prefers to dig used tissues and paper towels out of the garbage. Used diapers are her very favorite.:yuck:

They are like gold in my house. I can get anything I want from them if I show an empty roll. Noah, can hear the lat square of tp coming off a roll and just appears. You should be fine. If you really want to see glee in the eyes...empty paper towel roll...or the just go nuts for gift wrap roll. I supervise, as the can get to big of a chunk stuck.

We regularly gave my dog growing up the paper towels rolls to play with - and he probably ate at least half of them before we took away the leftover bits. I wouldn't worry - it'll get soft and mushy in her tummy and just come out the other end.

My bridge boy Taz mastered the art of stealing napkins, paper towels, and kleenex-he was really good and very sneaky at it no matter how diligent we were watching him. He ate them regularly and of course I always worried until he passed them.

I wouldn't be too concerenced, however keep a close eye on Jordan until she passes it. Taz lived to be 15.5 and he ate a lot of paper products in his lifetime.

Gross Question ??

Will this be coming out in chunks or digested :yuck: Every thing looked A-OK this morning. :uhoh:

Brady just ate one Friday night, and MacKenzie sat there waiting for the leftovers. I don't know what it is about them, but they love toilet paper rolls.

I don't think you'll be able to re-use it ;)...but it'll definately be coming out sometime soon. :)

Same here as all the others...paper is Chance's "thing". I've always let him have the rolls from TP and paper towels. That's his heaven. I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Oh Jordan, Please no more "puppy antics" to scare your mommy. I guess you just had to do it before you turn the big 1 birthday. You know how tv commercials are always saying you need more fiber in your diet? Well maybe Jordan overheard that. LOL. I'm sure she will be fine.
