Dog - Blue Tack

[kopend]

my friends dog has just eaten a strip of blue tack - about 1" wide x 6" long

will this cause it any harm ?

p.s the dog in question is a young shih tzu

To my knowledge blu tack isn't toxic to dogs - however, as the dog is small and young it may be a plan to give your vet a ring just to be safe.

The composition of Blu-Tack is a manufacturing secret but is described as a synthetic rubber compound without hazardous properties under normal conditions. It can be swallowed without harm and is noncarcinogenic.

Best give the vet a call -it may just come straight through but if it balls up it may need to be removed surgically -what is it with dogs eating random stuff, they seem to have side-stepped Darwins theory of evolution lol

My old Labrador would eat anything in front of him and dog food as well!! :-)

If it doesn't move for a while, check that it's not stuck to the floor.
