My puppy ate headphones. She's acting normal, should I be concerned?

It would be best to have her evaluated by a veterinarian and have abdominal x-rays performed. Otherwise, watch her for vomiting. If she begins vomiting, then she likely has developed an obstruction in her intestines.

The concern that I would have is that the headphones will cause a blockage in Bo's stomach, or if there is copper wiring in it, it could pierce his intestines. You will have to monitor him for now, as it's not recommend to make him vomit them back up. Signs of obstruction or perforation include vomiting, anorexia, extreme lethargy, constipation, or diarrhea. Should you see any of those signs, Bo will have to see a vet immediately. You will need to monitor him and his feces for the next 72 hours, and if you don't see any signs of the headphones in his feces within 72 hours, he will need to see a vet right away.

Hi, the main question is will it pass through the stomach into the intestine and then out with feaces ? Ideally, if possible he should be made sick with a simple injection at your local vet. That would put your mind at rest, if not you should just feed him and monitor what comes out the other end. Hope this helps !

It depends on how big your puppy is, and how large the piece of earplug was that he ate - the biggest concern is that this could cause an obstruction in the intestines as it passes through. In a very small puppy like a Maltese or Toy Poodle, this would be a serious concern; in a larger puppy like a Labrador or Golden Retriever, it's less likely that this would happen. You will need to monitor your puppy for the next few days for any signs of an obstruction, which would include repeated episodes of vomiting, not wanting to eat, acting lethargic, or not having bowel movements. If you see any of these symptoms, take your pup to the vet for an exam right away, as he may need emergency surgery to remove the earplug. As long as he is acting normal (eating, drinking, playing, no vomiting), there should be no need to worry.

This foam part may pass without problem. You can take Arnie into an ER vet now to have vomiting induced to get it out, or you can watch him for signs of obstruction. These include vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and lethargy. If you see any of those signs, take him into a vet right away. Best of luck.

Oh dear! It's common for puppies this age to eat things like this that they shouldn't, unfortunately. You're right that it's possible for pieces of the mask to get stuck in his intestines and cause an obstruction, but they may also pass through his system without any problems at all. As long as he is acting normal (eating and drinking fine, active and playful, no vomiting, and pooping regularly), there shouldn't be any reason for concern. If he stops eating, or begins to vomit or act lethargic, then I would recommend taking him to the vet for x-rays to see if he may have an obstruction - if so, surgery can be performed to remove the blockage at that time. But as long as he is not showing any symptoms, there is no need for any kind of treatment :)

Oh that was naughty of Derek! There is a chance it could pass without problem, and I would just have him seen by a vet tomorrow. If he ate it within the past two hours, the vet may think it's safe to induce him to vomit it up, so you do have the option of calling a vet now about having him seen to get a shot to induce vomiting. That would prevent any chance of an obstruction. Likely, it will pass without problem, but just in case, I will give you the signs of an obstruction. They include vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, lethargy, and constipation. You can monitor him for those signs, and keep in mind that it can take up to 72 hours for it to pass. Hopefully, Derek will be just fine :-)
