Question:

Can my dogs die from eating insulation that is between the walls?

I have 2 two-year old pit bulls, a one-year old chihuahua and a 5 month old chihuahuaI noticed a hole in my wall where one of my dogs ate through itThere is pink insulation all tore up- about 1 foot by 1 foot square or so (not completely eaten, but possibly nibbled on)Now one of my pit bulls and my 5 month old chihuahua appear to be losing their hair around their body (not complete bald spots, but balding)They haven't lost their appetite or energy and I don't see blood in their poopie, but am curious if they can die or can they get betterPlease don't be cruel about me having pit bullsThey are very sweet and as you can see, they get along great with my chihuahuasI am just a concerned pet owner who is having a little bit of a financial situation which is the reason I can't go to the vet at this momentThank you in advance for those who help.

Insulation ( pink ) between the walls is FIBERGLASS insulation, and is very hard on the tummyIt'll tear it up insideMy advice.take all of your dogs to the vet and have xrays made of their stomach / intestinesIt's entirely possible that they may have to have surgery to get it out.and the longer you wait, the worse it COULD beOther than making sure you close up the hole, and they don't eat any more of the insulation.there's nothing you can do for them at homeHope you get the xrays, and they turn out to NOT have any insulation inside them.GOOD LUCK.
