[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 1034661, member: 13050"] Glad she seems to be doing OK. If she relapses I would be inclined to think that she has a stomach blockage rather than DA which is usually associated with quite a bit of pain and discomfort. Plastic, baling twine or whatever(most times it is spat out in the cud), enters the rumen easily enough but then has to go through the small opening of the reticulum and into the omasum, where it stays causing a blockage. The hay has nowhere to go so she continuously spits out her cud, smaller pieces of hay and grain may be ingested but the animal slowly starts loosing weight and always seems hungry - for good reason. Able to drink water and will have a loose stool. [/QUOTE]
