My dog is quite possibly the nastiest creature in the world at this time.
I was looking at him - and he's sitting on the ground outside, with his backpaws up near his ears, and scraping his booty along the cement.
So I went outside and called to him to see if I could find out what the problem was. I found out alright.
Apparently - he got into the trash and ate some saran wrap.
This saran wrap is now hanging out of his butt. What the hell am I supposed to do? I am NOT pulling it out. I'd wait for my man to come home and do it - but that's next weekend.
And he keeps sniffing at his butt, but he won't yank it out himself.
Do you think I should bring him to a vet and have him pull it out? I can't just leave it there.
On a scale of 1 - 10...10 being the grossest... I think this qualifies as a 12.

LeonesseOurs has done the same thing with socks and balls of my hair. He takes them out of the garbage. Wierdo.
Yes, you can SLOWLY pull it out. You don't have to take him to the vet. My exDH just grabbed paper towels and with a really interesting look of disgust on his face, slowly removed my 'down to the butt' strands of hair that had somehow came unballed inside him.
Have fun! :-) ... still standing after the tornado? -

I also vote for the vet. My dog ate some of my underwear that he actually passed (found a bit in the yard just last week even though it happened a few months ago). When he ate all the used sanitary napkins in the bathroom trash, it was a different story and surgery was the only option (and not so cheap). As to why he has a fixation on such things, I can't even try to explain, so be happy its only saran wrap!

NormanI will have every single one of you know that I did not have to pull the plastic out. I was about to go out there and do it myself (had the rubber gloves on and everything) when I saw the girl dog pull it out for him.... it had like ... a dingleberry or something on the end of it, which explained why it was stuck. I've watched him doody now 3 times and he seems to be ok. Don't worry. If he tries to push out my garbage - I'll run him in!!
Norman!
Norman, I honestly think you should take the dog to the vet. The saran wrap could cause a blockage or an infection, and, not only will it put the dog through painful and avoidable surgery, it will also be more expensive to "ignore" it. Just my 2 cents. They will be able to safely remove it, without a doubt.
On a different note - you poor thing, that sound uber-gross. :(
