We are both very tired this morning, we had a great walk in the forest yesterday but on the way back Teal started to act very strangely biting and eating at every bit of vegetation she could, I had to put her on her lead and she still pulled to try and eat anything she could. Put her in the back of the car and set of home on arrival we found that she had chewed and swallowed 10 inches of nylon strap on the camera case. At the vets within the hour the vet had no idea what had happened and did not wish to induce vomiting in case it did more harm than good. So after a jab to try to ease Teals nausea we took her home the emergency vet was briefed and was ready in case things deteriorated . Teal kept swallowing and licking the floor and we had to put her on lead in the garden to stop her eating every plant out there. Sue and I think she may have swallowed something sharp whilst diving in and out of a flooded ditch and was trying to shift it by self medicating. We fed her some chicken nothing wrong with her appetite So we were on Teal watch all night. This morning the swallowing has eased some and she has had a poo with what looks like some small bits of camera strap in it, Fingers crossed she had chewed the strap well and not swallowed the thing whole and what we think was in her throat has now shifted or was just a bad scratch. Will be back to the vets on monday to have her checked again.
