I'm in a little state of panic right now and it's my fault!
As usual, I had trouble sleeping last night and was reading. Before I fell asleep I placed the book across the openned drawer of my nightstand instead of on top of the nightstand (which already had a stack on books!)
Well inside the drawer I have these spongey earplugs which Cleo loves to chew ...that's why they were in the drawer! It didn't dawn on me last night when I finally tried to fall asleep. Sure enough she woke me up digging in the drawer. So I got her off and pushed the drawer shut and fell back to sleep. Then a little later, I wake up again to the sound of puking! My first thought....hair ball as usual. But when I checked....there were three "very wet" ear plugs!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know for sure how many I had in the drawer and I'm still worried that she has one inside her. She's acting fine. She's eating and drinking fine and seems to be acting normally. I figured one of these would suffocate her if she still had one in her. But I keep thinking what if she were able to swallow it and it went into her intestines??!?
My vet is closed for the holiday today. But the animal emerg. clinic is open if I need to get her to a doctor. Luckily it's only 2 blocks away!
I'm waiting to see how she acts. She's acting perfectly normal. I figured she spit them all up....but the "What if's...." keeps going off in my head.
What should I look for as a sign or symptom that she may have injested one of these ear plugs so that I can rush her to the emerg. clinic??
