Sticks obsession

[Benchster]

Well after a very scary episode involving spontaneous pneumothorax it seems one possible cause of this was,Alfie vomiting two pieces of stick. He's stick mad and despite no encouragement from us, he will look for sticks to carry home. Can anybody suggest how to train Alfie out of his obsession with sticks????

There is a product on the market that is a safe stick substitute -

Thank you. Anything is worth a try.

Give him lots and lots of attention when he gets his new stick so that he finds playing with it more interesting than being shouted at and chased when he has a dangerous one

Glad to hear he is on the mend.
