[QUOTE="Deepsouth, post: 1002126, member: 17608"] I brought this back up because I had a 2 mounth old calf eat most of a plastic ice bag yesterday. I have always heard this can cause problems and I have read this thread and some other stuff on this subject. I know there is not much I can do but I did put some dish soap in the water trough hoping it would help it go on through. I know that sounds crazy but it was all that I could think to do. So now I guess it's just wait and hope for the best but it did get me to thinking and I have a question. How long does it normally take food to pass all the way through a cows digestive system. I understand that the bag will be unpredictable I'm just talking about normal food in a normal digestive system. [/QUOTE]
