Re: Sav ate duct tape

actually, a current is produced and the end result is release of sodium hydroxide causing tissue damage called liquefaction necrosis. This causes bad stuff in GI tract including burns and perforation of esophagus (if lodged there), etc...

Re: Sav ate duct tape

So..... Is that the preferred method of killing off pesky neighbourhood kids?

Re: Sav ate duct tape

I agree that the vet response would most likely be to keep an eye on it to see if it passes on its own, and if it doesn't then surgery could be needed. It will probably go through no problem, but I would still have a vet take a look to see what it's doing.

Re: Sav ate duct tape

I was a bit gun shy about this thread yesterday. I wanted to post "wait for it to pass" but figured a post that didn't say to go to the vet would have ended in debate. I would just wait and see....no pooping....go to a vet.

Best thing to learn here is not to use tape on the ends of feeding tongs.
