Whew! I bet you're glad! I know I am. I had a dog that liked to eat rope, once ate about 5 feet and passed it intact over a period of about a day. He was most uncomfortable, but he did it more than once.

Thankfully it was jute. They've chewed on the twine before, and probably ingested small amounts, but this was the first time I saw one actually eat it! Thanks,

I suppose that if everything came out ok, you would find all the trees in the pasture gift wrapped.

Is it a jute binder twine or plastic? If jute she will digest it as with any fiber. The other I might be concerned but animals can pass the most amzing things, watch for its "reappearance" and be prepared to help it with a little traction perhaps.

I have a 6 month old doe who ate an undetermined length of binder twine today. Should I do anything? What are the possible dangers and symptoms to look for?
