My dog ate a paper towel with antibacterial cleaner. Should I worry?

Often times, paper towels will pass through without a problem - especially if Max chewed it into pieces before eating it. But there is always a chance that it could cause a blockage. You will need to monitor him closely for the next 2-3 days for any signs of a problem - if he begins vomiting, acting lethargic, or doesn't want to eat, then you need to take him to a vet right away for x-rays and possible surgery if a blockage is found. As long as he is acting normal, I wouldn't worry - you can keep an eye out for pieces of the paper towel to pass in his stool.

The chances of Teddy having any problem is unlikely with such a small amount. You did good by diluting it out with water. If you have milk of magnesia, you can also give him 0.5mL (approximately 1/8 teaspoon) of that to also help him. The biggest concern is him developing oral ulcers or esophageal ulcers. Watch him closely to make sure he is eating, drinking and acting normally over the next few days. If anything abnormal is noticed, have your vet take a look at him. I hope this helps!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Coda. No need to take him into a vet. The paper towel should dissolve in his stomach acid, and this should not cause any problems. I hope this helps!

More than likely, Max will be fine. The paper towel should pass through him, and I would monitor his poop to see if it comes out. There is a chance the grease from the fried chicken could cause some problems, such as pancreatitis or GI upset. If Max begins vomiting, especially undigested food, that is a symptom of pancreatitis, and he will need to be taken into a vet right away. I would monitor him for vomiting, not eating, lethargy, diarrhea, vomiting water, and not drinking water. If you see any of those signs, take him into your vet immediately.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Dixie. Chances are this paper towel will dissolve in her stomach acid, and I would just keep an eye on her for now. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or a loss of appetite, then you will need to take her into a vet right away. I hope this helps!

If it was just a small piece of paper towel, it will likely pass through the intestinal tract without problems. Watch Gizmo's poop for the next 3-4 days and you should see it when it comes out. Should Gizmo get diarrhea and then vomiting, you need to take him to your vet for an exam as then the paper may have caused an obstruction. However, I think it will leave the body via the natural way.

In looking up this product, I believe that it is simply a saline solution used for piercing aftercare. If I am correct, then Rascal should be fine. The paper towel should pass through him without problem. If I haven't found the right product, I apologize, and if you could please post again with the ingredients of the cleaner, one of the experts could answer your question better :-)
