i agree with this DO NOT INDUCE VOMITTING
I would do a wait and see since vet is aware and he is acting fine if he starts vomitting then i would get him in asap
mine just ate part of a paper plate tonight so not a good night myself and he is my pancreatic dog so i am nervous here too but paper breaks down better than hard plastic. So no more paper plates here -ughhhhhh
I hope it all passes as yours is a bigger one so you may be ok - do you feed wet or dry food? If dry i would soak the food to create moisture and possible will maneuver around the piece of plastic and move out and protect intestines
It takes 48-72 hrs for something to pass so after 72 hrs you should be ok
these little ones are fast
my parents silky ate a whole bag of my mom's gold jewelry and they never found the jewelry as she made my nephews go out with plastic gloves on to find it and it was gone so their stomach acid is pretty strong
