Puppy ate bathroom decor, vomiting and lethargic. What's wrong?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

My 5 month puppy ate some bathroom decor, the fake pine and flower kind. After four hours of consuming he had harsh vomiting where only bile is coming out, won’t eat, shakes and groans, and doesn’t feel like doing anything. This is concerning since he usually is jumping and playing and never sitting still. Is this poisoning from the decor or a regular stomach pain?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your puppy. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian right away. He will likely need x-rays to see if the bathroom decor is causing a blockage in his stomach or intestines. If so, he will require surgery to remove it. There are of course other causes of vomiting, but that is my fear given the history you have provided. I hope this information helps.
