'Tis the Season - Ornament Safety

[matilda8255]

Be especially careful if you are using tinsel and have a cat. Tinsel can get stuck in a cat's lungs and they can sufficate. For anyone who has a cat I would suggest no tinsel.

Thanks so much!! I am forwarding the info to my family who have dogs as well. Just another reason why I love Boxerworld!!

I read about this not so long ago and went out and bought the supplies. Not more than two days went by and Rocky decided to eat the glass lights. I right away went and had him eat 5 cotton balls soaked in half & half. Luckily I had no problems with blood in his stools but he did throw up a couple cotton balls the next day.

Julie, I really appreciated this information last year when Scrapper dissected a few Christmas ornaments. It was nice to know what to do. There were no adverse side effects, I just stuffed those cream soaked cotton balls into his mouth and he swallowed them right down.
Thanks!

Yes, thanks for reposting this. I remember the first time I read about this treatment I thought "oh what a good thing to remember", but of course I didn't. So I just now went out and bought my cotton balls and half and half, (just in case).

Thanks Julie for that info! This is my first year having a boxer and I've been wondering about what to do if/when she eats something off the tree. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) we won't have a tree this year because we are still reconstructing our house from the hurricane Isabelle flood (although it's been great to housebreak with no carpet ). However, we will be at my Mom's, so I'll have to watch her there.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the advice. Is nice to know what to do in case something happens.

This time I decided not to put a Xmas tree, due to the fact that my Lupita is still a baby and I'm affraid that she gets hurt with something. Even though I watch her all the time, accidents can happen in less than a minute. So, I'll rather wait next year when she gets a little older. I only decorate the house with safe things that she can not get hurt.
(The reason I didn't put a tree this year is because my baby is teething -she is 4 months old- and everything she founds she grabs it and put it in her mouth, so just to be safe I decided not to put a tree)
