Cowboy 2 and I spent Sunday at Petroglyph Animal Hospital where the staff suspected after X-rays etcetera that he had consumed a “foreign object.” Bottom line is that he has seemed fine since. He is not a food beggar nor a cupboard sniffer. He gets at most one treat a day and he doesn’t run loose in rabbit territory. I found a dead tarantula in the yard that morning but it was whole. He brought a dead bird into the house the previous week but it also was whole. I also found a stuffed toy fish with a missing dorsal fin. So I don’t know. At the same time I hope no one in our neighborhood, even though spread out, is poisoning rodents, which is treacherous to pets and wildlife alike. Cowboy 2’s symptoms fortunately were fleeting. Our careful doctor at Petroglyph could only find in the X-rays what she thought might be bits of cloth or string.
The folks at Petroglyph were great as always. And the patient was glad to get back with his pals Izzy and Molly.
