Waaah - DS (12mths) has eaten sheep droppings

[nangnangnang]

Is there any potential for harm? Other than terrible breath .

I think only one pellet went in.

oh dear that sounds baaa-d.

He'll prob be fine, ring NHS direct if you are worried.

DD2 has done this in the past & lived to tell the tale.She saw me picking mushrooms & thought sheep muck was the same thing.If it is any consolation,she has the constitution of an ox,which I put down to all the unsuitable things she has ingested over the years.

ROFL - she'll be fine. Mine ate a cat furrball before I could stop her. She spat most of it out because she was giggling at her mum for jumping up and down yelling 'gaaaah'.

oh dear

sheep only eat grass, so it is not soo bad

my DD has eaten:

newspaper and serviettes, never shiny paper

dog food, wet and dry

and took a dog treat out of the dog's mouth and ate it! i was rooted to the spot with horror !

drinks gallons of bath water

once ate half a bowl of pasta out of the bin at my friends house

and lots more i have blocked out!

she is alive and kicking and has a shit hot immune system, has avoided chickne pox a gazillion times, despite my friend's little boy kissing her and oozing all over her

Nah he'll be fine

Old proverb (I think Chinese) - 'A child who has not eaten his own weight in dirt by the age of two will not be a healthy adult'

Once caught my 20mo dd and her friend eating their own poo (never found out which one's it was!) - serving it up on tea party plates no less.

Oh yes and DD hides raisins in her nappy and then eats them surreptitiously later. Mostly they are undigested at the time

Seriously, I think kids have a special talent for eating stuff they shouldn't. I caught DD trying to eat the cotton wool balls a few weeks back

Good for the immune system.

Peck of dirt, and all that.

I found mine sharing a Bonio with the dog last week. She'd have a suck, the dog would have a suck, she'd have another... shudder.
