Okay, this may be weird, but I thought I'd ask.
As some of you may or may not have issues with, Winston eats pretty much anything. Whether it is actually an edible object or not - such as sticks and snails in the backyard...
When we moved into this new apartment (which is a really old apartment in the historic district) we had to sign a waiver of understanding about the lead paint which is under quite a few layers of non-leaded paint. I didn't really think much of it since I knew I wasn't going to be licking the walls or chewing on paint chips.
To be honest, the walls are repainted a nice green color and figured the lead paint is down under a few layers and wasn't really a threat to my safety. Only, recently, my SO and I noticed that the ceiling in a few places is coming apart...? Like a layer of paint is separating from the actual ceiling... It's hard to describe and I'm sure that didn't make much sense.
My question is... if these little chips of paint (by little I mean roughly 1-2 inches by 1-2 inches or so) are being eaten by Winston on occasion... I take it this is dangerous, right? Now I'm really worried and not sure what I can do to protect Winston from the paint chips.
Any suggestions would be great. I doubt I can call the landlord to fix this - I'm not even sure what I would say to him. Thanks in advance.

How much is enough to be concerned? I mean, I think it's only recently fallen a few little pieces.... But I realize he is a puppy and still small in weight so it might not really take more than a few small bites... Oh dear. D:
He seems healthy and I did start crating him when I'm gone. I'll have to ask the vet when I take him to get his boosters.
Yeah that's true. I wonder how much it would cost to test that... I'll check it out with the vet and if it's super expensive see if they will let me make payments. I don't want him to be sick.
Does that apply to furbabies? Just curious. I suppose I should check the paperwork some time this week.
But yeah, I think I'll call the landlord and tell him he needs to fix it so chunks of paint aren't falling onto the floor.
