^Still cleaning up puke, unfortunately. At this rate, I'll be spending the night at the emergency clinic. Or, more realistically since I have a sleeping child right now, I'll be spending tomorrow at the vet hospital.

Well, she must not be feeling too bad since she just tried to steal my Oreos. We'll see how she is after 24 hours with no food.
Oh, poor Guinness and poor OB! Henry is the same way--vomits, then "I could eat!" (Reminds me of that scene in "Fargo" with the pregnant cop.) HenHen kept his dinner down last night, so I am hopeful we're back on the right track. For now. Until the next rug is devoured.
Aw, thank you, Mree! Pets don't have to be as much work as I've been making Henry. I have been overworrying about him and as I've gradually figured out that he's tougher than I gave him credit for, I've been able to start enjoying him more! The most important part of good pet ownership is awareness, really: Knowing what your pet normally acts like and being conscious of any changes.
No, they said it looks like a corncob on X-ray, but there's no way she got hold of a corn cob. Could be any number of things in LilOB's room that I forgot to pick up, or with my luck, it'll be a big wad of feminine products out of the bathroom trash can 
Thanks, Purse! I feel bad because my gut feeling yesterday was that she was obstructed; but then she went five hours without vomiting, so I was hopeful.

OB, so sorry, and so glad you are a caring dog-mom and are getting her the attention she needs. There but for the grace of. . . oh, heck, there go I fer shur at some point in the future, no grace involved.
ETA: I've read up on this (gee, I wonder why) and dogs eating feminine products are not uncommon, as you may already know from your practice. Dumbdogsdumbdogsdumbdogs.

Mindi, the things I have pulled out of dogs' insides, mouths, and other ends would stun and gross you out! I wouldn't say fer shur HenHen is going that route. Most of the dumbdogsdumbdogs who eat the crazy stuff and get blocked are the big goofs like Guinness, or the one yellow lab who swallowed his rubber ball because he was carrying it in his mouth and trying to bark at the same time. Of course, we found an assortment of rocks and plastic in his stomach, along with the rubber ball...
Oh, that poor dumbdog! I have now had the experience with BOTH of my dogs of having to help separate them from their, um, solid waste, because it was following them around, attached by a hair or blade of grass they'd swallowed. The look is priceless: "This is supposed to go away whyisn'tthisgoingawaaaaaay?!?!?! MOMMMMMMMMM!"- Status
