So the guinea pigs ate aproxomity half a Dillon's plastic bag sometime between 10 PM and 6 AM this morning...awesome. We'd put the bag by the door, filled with things that Kirk needed for work today.
A panicked call to the vet revealed that we could get a guinea pig's stomach pumped for *insert obscenely high figure here*, so we're doing the "watch and wait" method. The vet said that it's entirely possible they'll pass it on their own, as guinea pigs chew things down pretty small. They're in separate cages- we'll be watching for signs of distress over the next few days.
Sometimes I wish that our employers had a direct deposit to the vet option- it'd be very convenient for us! :)
Cross your fingers that everything goes well and does not involve costly vet intervention.
