I called the vet first things this morning, she said to wait and watch him and see if he shows any signs such as not eating, lethargy, vomiting, discolored urine etc. She said since I DON'T KNOW if he swallowed anything at all it's best to wait and see I know she will do an X-Ray if I request it but I don't know if that's a waste or not? should I just wait it out?

I would think he'd choke on a Penny but I KNOW they have been swallowed by Yorkie's so it is possible.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for the replies as well!
