<p class=MsoNormal>We have this same problem with our Ella. Sometimes she gets
a stomach ache and her response is to start eating everything in sight from
massive amounts of grass to unfortunately, carpet. Either one can be bad
but carpet is especially dangerous as you have found. We have never
figured out what triggers the attack but her response to it is much more of an
issue than the original tummy ache. If we catch her starting to obsessively lick
the floor we know an attack is on the way. We give her a gas ex, a metaclopromide/Reglan,
and a cookie and she gets a 10-15 minute rest in her crate. After that
she usually does calm down and it is safe to let her out again. When we
leave, we block off the carpeted area of the house as a precaution.<o:p></o:p></p>
