To Melissa Litwicki: >Questions for the vets: it's a soft, squishy type of rubber... Is there a >toxicity threat here? What sort? Melissa - chances are there is no threat from toxicity. Rubber is fairly inert - you won't run into problems until you burn it - and often then there are no problems. You are right - the biggest problem you face is blockage - stay with the Petromalt for the next week....
