I witnessed a goat eating a plastic bag, of rather large lunch size
that may
have contained something like a piece of cake. Perhaps the goat
smelled
the scent of cake and just ate the plastic bag.
Question: will that goat survive? It has been 3 days now and he
appears to be
fine. The size of the bag was rather large and I cannot imagine how it
can
travel out of his body.
I have noticed two of those goats with rather constant bloating or
bloating
more often than not.
So is the bloating likely due to the plastic bags those goats ate over
the
years that are still lodged inside their stomachs.
Hoping this post reaches some vet or person experienced with goats.
I do not want to see animals suffer and so if the goats are going to
live a hard life with plastic bags lodged inside them, I would rather
a solution be found.
Anyone...

Maybe I should have asked the question of what happens when humans
accidentally have a large plastic bag eaten? Do they survive? Or does
the
bag get lodged in the tract?

When I was a kid, I noticed my grandmother humming a tune and asked
her what it was. She said it was "Bill Gordons Goat" and it went:
Bill Gordons Goat was doing fine
Ate three red shirts right off the line
Bill took a stick, gave him a whack
and tied him to the railroad track.
The whistle blew, the train grew nigh
Bill Gordons's goat was doomed to die
He gave three groans of mortal pain
Coughed up the shirts and flagged the train |
