I caught cheeky crunching on something unknown and discovered she had chipped off a piece of a ceramic bowl. I know some ceramic has lead in it so I took her to the vet this morning and an X-ray didn't show any metal in her thank god. They said if none showed up on X-ray it was unlikely she had swallowed enough to be an issue. I just have to keep a close eye on her for a few days to make sure no symptoms show up. Phew, dodged a bullet I hope. Had to take a 4 year old tranq last nite to sleep. Woke up at 2am worrying

I'm glad she's okay. It's amazing how they can find things they shouldn't have.

Maybe it was a hairline cracked & she picked @ it. I'm so glad she's ok, Donna! You did a fast acting parrontal thing! :marlenesmile:
