My dog swallowed plastic months ago, now weak and sick after vomiting.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | unspayed | 14 lbs

My dog chewed and swallowed a plastic toy 6 months ago, and vomited today a big piece of the plastic toy that was in his stomach all this time without any symptoms. Ever since he vomited, he is completely weak and sleepy, denies any food, does drink water however. This is the second day but seems to be getting worse, he hardly can move

The rest of this toy could be the cause of Sunny's symptoms, and I think he sounds sick enough that this is a medical emergency. He needs veterinary care now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
