Just for random advisement.. cloth and plastic are the two biggest dangers to be ingested and most commonly cause obstructions.

My aunt's dog died from eating tampons! Nobody could figure out why she seemed so sick and when they took her to the vet it was too late.

Keep your bathroom stuff locked up!

Sorry I have no sage advice about the tac, I just thought I'd share about the tampons.

I hope everything works out but I would call the vet and ask what they think. Cali also eats everything she really likes the plastic tags from clothes, that my dtr swears she doesn't drop on the floor! When do they grow out of this!

WOW! I would be freaking! That sharp point can puncture stomach lining, intestines, colon...I would have taken him to the vet.

Do we have an update yet?

COTTON BALL REMEDY
What do you do if your puppy (or mischievous older dog) gets into your holiday decorations and eats some of the glass ornaments? This potentially lethal mishap can darken even the brightest holiday season.

THE PROCEDURE
Go to a pharmacy and buy a box of cotton balls. Be sure that you get COTTON balls...not the cosmetic puffs that are made from man-made fibers. Also, buy a quart of half-and-half coffee cream and put it in the freezer. Should your dog eat glass ornaments. Defrost the half-and-half and pour some in a bowl. Dip cotton balls into the Cream and feed them to your dog. Dogs under 10 lbs should eat 2 balls which you have first torn into smaller pieces. Dogs 10-50 lbs should eat 3-5 balls and larger dogs should eat 5-7. You may feed larger dogs an entire cotton ball at once.

Dogs seem to really like these strange treats and eat them readily. As the Cotton works its way through the digestive tract it will find all the glass pieces and wrap itself around them. Even the teeniest shards of glass will be caught and wrapped in the cotton fibers and the cotton will protect the intestines from damage by the glass. Your dogs stools will be really weird for a few days and you will have to be careful to check for fresh blood or a tarry appearance to the stool. If either of the latter symptoms appear you should rush your dog to the vet for a checkup but, in most cases, the dogs will be just fine.

This trick should work year round should your dog swallow a staple or other small sharp object, although we do recommend following the advice of your veterinarian.

Great post, Lexi's Mom!

I wouldn't take any chances with that. I would have gone to the vet right off the bat. I know these little guys are quick. Gus ate a earplug once. I would have never known if he didn't vomit. It more the trippled in size when it came out I hate to think what could have happened if it got stuck somewhere in there.
