Ate Shower Curtain

[gizmo.ella]

Gizmos playpen has a shower curtain base and somehow he moved the bendy bridge, unfolded the shower curtain and ate some. I'm really worried will he be okay. He has peed but I haven't seen him poo since. He ate it yesterday

Are you sure he hasn't pee'd or poo'd ? I know it's not a good idea for them to eat shower curtains - but many guineas gave done so and not come to any harm.

It is not a good idea to eat plastic, but generally it thankfully doesn't cause any blockages straight away.

Is Gizmo still eating and drinking normally, and not showing any signs of being unwell? In that case, you just keep observing, but not worry too much. See a vet asap as soon as he is showing acute signs of being unwell/in discomfort.

I'd try and get him a vet appointment tomorrow if possible. They can get poorly so quickly so it's best to just make an appointment as soon as possible.

I know I shouldn't laugh, I hope Gizmo is OK
