So sorry to hear Maisie has been poorly, but very glad to hear she is now recovering. I went through something similar with Brodie: got up one morning to find a dog in extreme pain and a half eaten wooden lollipop stick lying on the rug. She was rushed to the vets and kept in. In the end it turned out to be pancreatitis, but it was a massive worry when we thought she had damaged herself. The vet still isn't sure if it played a part in her illness
She isn't the type to pick up things and eat them either, but she does love sticks and wood and I think because she was on steroids the lollipop stick was irresistible
Hope Maisie continues to recover well and refrains from eating anything similar in the future
