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....
