I've just got off the phone with my vets and to be honest it hasn't helped much. I caught Obi eating one of my daughters hard plastic headbands. There was about half of it left and he had small pieces of the plastic in his mouth so I can only presume he has managed to swallow some it. I was able to easily snap the larger pieces that were left as it is very brittle and I'm scared silly because they are so sharp.
When I spoke to the vets they said to wait and see and watch for any signs of vomiting, discomfort, problems with going to the toilet etc. They said as it was plastic that it would not show up on an x ray and that hopefully he will just pass the pieces. I keep thinking about that poor dog that supposedly ate some NI with larger pieces of bone in it and I'm worried Obi's intestines will be cut by the plastic. He looks fine at the moment and already eaten his NI before he got the hairband. Of course I blame myself for leaving him playing with the kids while I was making the tea. If anything happens to him I will never forgive myself. Sitting here crying as I type. So worried. I feel sick.
