Baira is currently having surgery for a blockage. It's the first time she's had to have surgery to remove something she's eaten but I doubt it will be the last.

We have always had problems with her eating everything and anything so we are very careful to pick up as we go. But it has now got to a stage that we cannot even give her any bedding because she eats it. This time she managed to pull Leos' collar off and has eaten that! (they were left outside together in their run for les than 1 hour)

They are both walked (off leash so running) for 2 or more hours in the morning and then have a 20 to 30 minute leg stretch in the evening (again off leash). Some days they swim, some days they don't and we have about 10 different trails we walk so always something different. We have had the same daily routine for over a year now. Fed at the same time, walked at the same time etc. I don't work so am home most of the day. They are only crated at night and for the brief time I am out of the house for shopping or school run. I leave them with one of those puzzle treat toys if i'm going to be gone more than an hour as to keep them occupied.

There is no pattern to her eating stuff, it's very random. I would expect her to eat something if her morning walk had been shorter (happens occassionally) or she had been crated for hours but no, it's so random.

I'd say on average she's been at the vet once every 2 months over the last year (which is usually 5 or 6 visits with each episode) and before that it was once a month. It's always because she's eaten something and it's stuck. I don't begrudge paying it but I am not a bottomless money pit and there's going to come a time that I just won't have to the money in the bank.

And we do pick up everything we see but she somehow manages to find something. Or she picks something up whilst out running. She ate 4 stones last year, luckily they passed but she had belly ache for 3 days and had to visit the vet every day for a week. And she cracked a tooth on one of them so the vet had to remove it.

She's not underweight and occassioanlly leaves a little food in her bowl and goes back to it 10 mins later so she's not hungry.

So, I am at the end of my tether with her and think I will have to keep a muzzle permanently on her or i'm going to end up broke.

Has anyone got any ideas on what I can do?

Thank goodness!  Sending Baira wishes for a speedy recovery!

Binni seems to eat whatever she can get into when she is bored or over excited.

example:  Yesterday her and Niko were "playing" and she got too wound up and stole a dollar bill off the entertainment center and ate half of it.  An hour later- she threw it up! 

today:  I left her outside and ran downstairs to do laundry and when I called her in (5 minutes out of my sight) she ripped a piece of siding off of the house.  An hour later- she threw up a rock!

She is now laying on the couch sleeping as if nothing happened.  I swear she is alway one step ahead of me.  SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY.

Any yes, we go for walks everyday.  She has a nice fenced in yard to run as much as she wants and we take her running of leash also.  She has every "tuff" toy that is on the market and we train everyday.

Hope she calms down SOMEDAY SOON...

 Ugh. Another stay at the vets. We've been everyday for over a week now but today she's needed more x rays and more fluids via IV.

Yesterday she starting acting like something was stuck in her throat. Coughing, wretching, swallowing a lot etc. she also threw up some foam. 

Her incision looks messy. It's leaking a lot of clear fluid and is swollen. 

The X-ray showed a lot of gas in her stomach and bowl.  An abnormal amount apparently. Anyone got any ideas?
