| need a little advise - Our little Oso decided it would be okay to eat a piece of a box - about 1/2 inch long, by the time we tried to get it out of his mouth, he had swallowed. I dont know what we should do, will he pass something like this or do we need to take him to a vet I'm hoping someone can help! |

| Was it just a little thin piece of cardboard? If he chewed it enough he might just pass it. I'd sure watch him for constipation or lethargy. How is he acting now?

| I think he should be able to pass it....keep a watch and make sure it comes out, though! Their little metabolisms are pretty fast, so it should come out by tomorrow morning. |

| What type of box? I wouldn't try to make him vomit at this point. |

| If he is acting normally and is drinking water, he should be ok. |

| Yes, It should pass allright. Pups love to chew and get into everything You will see pieces of cardboard in his feces for a couple of days.
