Trivia Question for all y'all
Approximately how long will it take for a plastic bag from the produce section of a supermarket to pass through the digestive system of an approximately 3 month old dairy cross bull calf. My vet is guessing "a relatively quick trip" as long as nothing gets "stopped". Yesterday, the produce lady dropped off our wonderful bounty of greens and fruit. I THOUGHT I'd been really careful before dumping the lettuce into the pasture. However, as I was sorting through watermelons, I saw one of the calves with a plastic bag hanging out of his mouth. I raced into the pen, but it was the wild calf and he proceeded to eat the bag as I chased him around. So far, nothing. My 7 year old is on hourly poo patrol, as I've promised her a $5.00 bill if she can find the plastic bag when it "comes out". Calf is absolutely fine so far...we're at 24 hours and counting.
