I would recommend feeding canned pumpkin and bread to Maggie to help pass the string through. If you notice that she is vomiting, lethargic or not eating then I would get her in to be seen by a veterinarian and have x-rays taken to help determine if the rope is causing an intestinal obstruction. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
