We played and did some training games etc and she was eager for her treats. Then she went to sleep. Later, when I’m making her breakfast she typically comes over for a treat. She didn’t. I brought one to her and she didn’t want it. I could see from her face and the way she was acting her stomach was upset. I just could tell. Some minimal lip licking, no drooling (Jasmine would always drool when her belly was upset). This was just the facial expression, the grimasse of the mouth, the way she was overall.

At first I was worried the pancreatitis was coming back. Then I remembered that last time she was outside she appeared to had been chewing on something. But there was nothing in that area. I went to look. There was some digging and some disturbed roots. Wasn’t clear whether from the digging or whether she ate some.

Worried I went online trying to figure out what plant could the roots be of. Found out that most likely from bittersweet nightshade. Was so worried that I ended up calling Poison Hotline. And then, couple hours later she looked fine again.

Yes, protect Cookie’s belly from contact with the Wandering Jew which seems to be causing a reaction on her skin.

I’d be cool with clothing, as long as
– it stays on
– doesn’t get caught on everything
– covers the areas while allowing to pee and poo normally

I did contact the place, I don’t think winter suit would work in the summer? I explained to them what I wanted, first they directed me to belly bands (not enough coverage and likely would travel); then incontinence panties (covers the wrong area LOL) and then dog shorts and trunks

The representative says would cover belly and thighs while letting the dog to eliminate. Unfortunately, there is now “bottom” view (either photo or schematic) to show what is and what isn’t covered down there. Also doesn’t say whether there are different ones for male or female dogs. If unisex, probably quite a bit of the belly would need to be exposed …?

She’s getting a reaction only on the belly, groin and thighs – areas with less fur. The rest of the body doesn’t have a reaction. So that’s the areas I need to try to protect.

Yeah, that’s what I thought, that’s what it
looked like – mucus (that’s why I called it snot 😉 ) It looked clear
with no odor. It was quite long, like the yo-yo a human might get with a runny nose.

What would cause this? Excitement? Heat?

It was the very thin plastic they use for meat products, to wrap the tray. (somebody ate the content of one of the packages, unfortunately including the plastic it was wrapped in. At least he left the tray and the moisture pad)

It was in the stomach Saturday afternoon to today morning when he puked some of it. We washed it, straightened it as much as we could, found a package of the same product and compared as well as we could.

The plastic from the stomach does feel different, so perhaps “shrunk” somewhat?

It is the intestines I’m worried about. The entire plastic wasn’t that huge, about 14″ x 14″ (original size); there were chunks, so it seems it got chewed up at least somewhat. The pieces were actually “shrunk” into strips type of shape.

He’s eating fine but not pooping as he should.

Yeah, hoping to see some poop.

Hubby didn’t tell me until he puked and went to examine the vomit and couldn’t figure out what the heck was it in there.

Note: would it have made sense to make him throw up right after hubby found out?

So we got normal poop this morning, looks like we got lucky this ime.
