Thank you very much for those who addressed my concerns in the last thread on post dental cleaning recoveries. My girl has a quick recovery the dat after and is back to her normal self.
This is again about my 3 year old Maine Coon girl Fugui.
Unfortunately, because she has pica and likes to eat items that should not be eaten, she chewed on and swallowed a corner of the entrance rug the first night after her surgery. It might be that she is uncomfortable from the anesthesia and dental cleaning, and just developed stress from being to the vet. The rug she swallowed is approximately 2 inches on both edges, thing rubber at the back, and fuzzy on the front, with its pile height of about 0.2 inch. I attached a photo of it with this thread.
She has defected every day since home, eating, drinking, playing, and urinating normally. She defecated half of her regular amount of daily stool every time, but will defecated twice per day, and her poops look exactly the same as she usually has. She pooped only once today, and the poop is half of her regular amount of daily stool. No vomit, no diarrhea, no lethargy so far.
My anxiety level is extremely high at this moment, as she has gone through 2 foreign body surgery already, each of them took her a cone, 14 days of activity restriction in crater, hand feeding 6 small meals a day, and $3000 vets bill. I am truly terrified. I can still went in great debt and afford another, but it is so painful for her to go through all of those again. And it will be so painful for me.
I talked to her vet, who suggest keep close eye on her since she hasn't developed any symptoms yet.
My question is:
Will a foreign body stay in her body for this long without causing symptoms? I don't hope to stress her out by taking her to an emergency and get X-Rays and ultrasound.
Any similar experience or ideas will be sincerely appreciated!
