[Dailydrool] I have a rock eater

[LaRock Hounds]

Maggie was a rock eater once at 10 months old and it never happened again.
We just make sure our back yard is rock free. I can't say for sure that it
won't happen again as she is 8 years old and last fall we went for a walk
and she ate an acorn and we almost lost her. It passed through, but she had
ulcerated colitis and blood was coming out of her rectum and her mouth. It
was horrible.  She has not since done anything.  I would say be very extra
careful and check your yard for anything this basset could take as a mimic
to a rock.  Maggie does not play with toys either so it is not like she was
playing with them and put them in her mouth and accidentally swallowed it.
Maggie's rock had cut into part of her intestines so it damaged her insides,
but she is fine from all and currently running through the downstairs with
her brother and sister barking it up and having a good time.
Good luck to you,
Dee
Maggie, Mazzie and Oliver
