My dog swallowed a balloon. How long until it's pooped out completely?

That's not good that Daisy ate a balloon! It's good that she is pooping like normal, and there is a good chance this balloon will pass without problem. It can take up to 72 hours for it to pass however, so continue to keep an eye on her. If she stops eating, starts vomiting, has diarrhea, stops passing feces, and/or becomes very lethargic, then I would take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

It can take a few days for a foreign object to fully move through the gastrointestinal tract. I've also seen a dog or two that has had a foreign object that can stay in the stomach for a long time (months) and that causes intermittent problems - this would be pretty unusual for something like a sanitary napkin however. I'd say if you get to three days with no problems you're probably in the clear. It sounds like you know what signs to watch for already but if she does vomit, if her appetite is decreased or if you see diarrhea you should head to your vet.

OK, just a regular alkaline battery. That does not mean it cannot cause severe ulceration if the battery was to leak, but sometimes these can be managed conservatively. If it has been 4-5 days & your dog is completely well & un-symtomatic, then start feeding him 2 tablespoons of canned pumpkin ( not pie filling ) twice a day in his food. This will act like a bulk laxative to hopefully help move the battery out. Yes, it can take up to 7 days for this to pass in the stool. All batteries can be potentially very dangerous, & can cause massive burns to the tissues in the gut. It would be nice to know if you have anything to worry about, but as long as Alex seems to be acting normal, just keep a close eye on his appetite & signs of a black or bloody stool.

Since those pieces are small, it is safe to monitor for any GI signs such as vomiting and diarrhea, lethargy or a decreased appetite. There is a good change that can pass through and you will never notice a problem over the next 24-48 hours!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. There is a good chance that she will pass it. However, it is important to watch closely for clinical signs consistent with an intestinal obstruction such as vomiting, abdominal pain and decreased appetite. If any of the above are observed, she should be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck!

I'd keep monitoring Bella for now. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, she doesn't poop at all, lethargy, or loss of appetite, then you will have to take her into a vet right away. This may pass without problem, but I can't say for sure.

What a cute name snowball! Yes, it is possible that the arm has passed through the stool and you just missed it. I would not be concerned as long as snowball is eating, drinking and defecating normal. If at anytime snowball is acting ill, vomiting or not eating I would recommend taking snowball to the vet for an x-ray of her abdomen. I hope that helps
