Tuesday night, after band practice, Tom was munching on a late-night bbq chicken thigh. It slipped out of his hands, hit the floor and immediately hopped straight into Mississippi’s stomach. It went directly to her stomach. It did not pass go, it did not get chewed. We had zero time to react. By the time we grabbed her mouth it was in her stomach. And so today I find myself poking her poo with a stick. I assumed it would come out pretty much just as it went in, but I find myself doubting. Could it have been broken down into stringy fibers in such a short amount of time? Or is that just a stick she chewed? Guess we’ll have to just keep waiting to see. She’s in very good spirits, and wouldn’t you be if you got a free chicken thigh bone? And so I continue to poke and prod.<\/p>\n
We read lots of pet advice websites. All of them said the same thing, watch her, make sure she’s not lethargic or seems to be suffering from a swollen gut, watch for bleeding. Make sure she still eats and poops. Should be out within 48 hours. So far she seems no worse for the wear. Something tells me this won’t be her last chicken thigh. We’ll do everything we can to prevent it, but yeah, she was pretty good at getting a hold of the last one in a hurry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
