Today, I had to pull chunks of digested blanket out of my dog's ass because she refuses to listen to me when I tell her not to eat the damn blanket. I can't stop smelling it. FML

OP here, firstly, there's a lot more to the story than I could fit in 300 characters. The dog that are the blanket is actually my well behaved one. She hardly ever eats anything. She didn't eat the whole blanket. Just chunks of it. She was in her kennel at the time because it's been raining and she's chosen to play in the mud. I'm renting a house with white carpet and I've also had to wash my sheets multiple times in one day due to the mud. So as soon as she comes inside, she goes in her kennel (if she's muddy. If she's not both dogs chill with me). She actually did stop chewing the blanket and started chewing her chew toy. She is a puppy. 7-8 months old, but she's not the hellraiser, the other one is. She was able to poop half of it out on her own, but she was running around with blanket coming out of her ass, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. It was also 11 at night and the area I'm in doesn't have a 24 hour vets office. At this point, I think she's about to start going into her first heat cycle and this can cause dogs to have abnormal behavior. This was a first time thing and it won't be happening again. The reason there's a blanket in the kennels, is because I like my dogs to be comfortable.

Generally speaking dogs don't have the best cognitive skills. Maybe a more hands on approach to stopping her from eating the blanket next time?

That dog is lucky you're not a magician, otherwise you would have been pulling and pulling....

Well, generally things that come out of asses smell; regardless if you smell it on purpose or not - It's kind of an unavoidable thing. Plus, I'm sure the OP would love to throw out the smelly, poopy blanket chunks as soon as all said chunks are done coming out the dog's anus.

"This was a first time thing and it won't be happening again." Hahahaa... I can't even tell you how many times I've heard the "My pet NEVER gets into things" line and then we find foreign bodies at the vet clinic. You can try spraying some "anti-chew" spray on the blanket or putting some kind of mat in there that isn't as enticing. I know it can be difficult with a puppy. Please spay your girl before she starts having heat cycles in order to help decrease her chance of unwanted litters, pyometra, and mammary cancer. Also, keep in mind pulling the pieces out can be dangerous if the pieces are large (this can lead to rectal or colonic tearing). If they were small, bite-size pieces, you're probably ok, but be careful. A vet can give her fluids to keep her hydrated while she is trying to pass the masses of fabric. If she doesn't poop in a few days, stops eating, or vomits, you should have her checked for an obstruction.

They were definitely small pieces, and most of it was already hanging out. She really is the better behaved dog and usually doesn't get into things. I'm not sure what made her do it this time, but it wasn't a fun experience.

Just put a dog bed in the kennel instead of a blanket

Thank you for posting an intelligent response. THIS right here is the only comment on this site OP needs to listen to. Intestinal blockages from ingesting foreign material is not a joke and can result in death. And pro spay all the way!

I'm pro spay too. When I got the dogs, I was 100% financially stable and able to care for them. 2 months later, I lost my job. So now I'm saving for the spaying, but can't afford it yet. It's on my to do list, unfortunately she'll go into her first heat before I have enough :( Luckily, they're indoor dogs and are only outside when I am. I also have a high fenced backyard, but just in case my eyes are always on them. The other one is spay because she was the proper age when I was stable financially.

idk if you know about this, but if you type "ASPCA low cost spay and neuter" into google, you can go to their website and find reputable vets and clinics in your area that will do the procedure at a reduced cost. I used it when I got a kitten not too long ago.

Yes, you can check out your animal shelter too, ours have a program where it costs less. Sorry about your job, hope you can get back on your feet quickly!

You can make an anti chew spray out of two parts apple cider vinegar and one part white vinegar. Just spray it on whatever they like to chew, such as the blanket, to keep them from chewing. I know what it's like to be broke haha

Shouldn't pull anything out of a dogs but that looks like it could be string(y) or yarn or anything like that cause you could tear the dogs intestines. Just a word of advice

I hope you took your dog to the vet. He could get an obstruction and require surgery. Blankets in poo is no laughing matter. A vet check is required asap

This is just one of many reason why I will never own a pet.

instead of telling your dog not to eat the blanket expecting the dog to understand like a human would why wouldn't you just move the blanket where the dog couldn't get it?

You sound like a good owner. Think you need to find chew-proof blankies. Or introduce hem to something they recognize as their own, outside the crate at first? Or maybe start training for next season of America's Got Talent!
