Does anyone know if the little white foam things that come as padding in a box are poisonous to chi's? They look like white cheese puffs or Wotsits as we call them here. Rolo has just eaten half a one, I managed to wrestle it off of him after chasing round the room for 5 minutes but I think he' swallowed half of it. It had gone sort of melted and squashed where he'd chewed it so not 100% sure. Would have only been about half an inch but I'm more worried about what they are made of than blockages
I've googled it and it seems to be that they cause more of a problem for causing blockages so I'm hoping that's correct. He wouldn't have eaten enough to do that, I was thinking more if the chemicals in them
And while we're at it, how do I stop him running off with things? Every time he has something bad I end up chasing him, he thinks its a great game and goes even faster. No amount of chastising him makes any difference and when I finally do catch him, we have a wrestle, he boxes with me trying to stop me removing the offending item from his mouth. The only way I can get him to drop things is by giving him a tiny bit if something from the fridge but then I feel I'm rewarding him for bad behaviour
I always have some of Ike's food in my pocket, so when that happens he will drop it to get his food. I consider it as rewarding him for doing what I asked. I don't think the small amount that he got of the shipping peanuts will hurt him.
My puggle ate a few of them when he was a puppy. He didn't have any issues. He was bigger than a chi but he was still small and ate a considerable amount more than your chi did. He got them on Christmas Day when no one was looking and thought they were super yummy. I would say Rolo will be fine.
Unfortunately, there will always be a time or two when they get something they shouldn't. But it sounds like he will be fine.
I have the same problem with Angel as you do with Rolo taking things. Although, now that he is older he is not so bad. But when I give the drop it command, 99% of the time he will drop it - in anticipation of getting a treat! It's not a great thing, but after all, it is kind of cute - as long as they are not destructive and don't get over weight!
Help please!
I would say Rolo will be fine.
