Tonight while getting Echo from her outdoor space and bringing her in for a soak I noticed this piece of something hanging off her, one time she got a squash vine stuck around her leg so I assumed this was similar...then I noticed it was in her mouth and that it was one of those string type things on palm trees etc (I'll have to post a picture) anyhow, I pulled it gently and she started to work with me/relax her throat and let it pass, once there was the slightest resistance I stopped. I managed to get 6 or so inches out at home. I called my partner and got her up to speed as I brought her in the hospital, she took this radiograph to check for gas and did the same thing, Echo bit the "string" and broke it off though. (got a couple more inches out) Advised 2 20 minute soaks a day and mineral oil on her salad tomorrow. She's going to do another rad. tomorrow too. She brought up some food at one point and I learned to handstand them in this situation, interesting!
Any how, I'll keep you all posted. I'm nervous and of course mad I didn't see the palm tree thing in there, I'm assuming the wind blew it into her enclosure.
Attached a picture of her lil body.
