My puppy ate a paper straw wrapper. Should I be worried about her?

Hi, if the wrapper has been thorn into pieces it will probably pass through his gastro intestinal tract together with other food. If it was a large piece swollowed as whole, there is the risk of obstruction and you need to monitor him closely for any vomiting or diarrhoea or straining to go to the toilet or abdominal pain. Hope this helps.

I'm really surprised a two week old dog ingested a wrapper - usually they are still only eating milk until 3-4 weeks of age. It sounds like the wrapper was relatively small, and at 5 pounds I would think that he is large enough for this to pass as long as he is also eating solid foods. If he has not been eating solid foods I'd recommend seeing your veterinarian for an exam to make sure everything is okay.

Don't worry, this is unlikely to cause any issues. Most small pieces of plastic and cloth and other material pass just fine in the stool, if the puppy doesn't vomit it up first. If Snowball is vomiting over and over again tonight or tomorrow, or doesn't seem herself, then she should see a vet. Otherwise, she'll likely be just fine! Hope that helps!

It depends! Some dogs will do fine, others won't. If there is a vet close, I would recommend inducing vomiting in a vet clinic because if it comes up, then there is nothing to worry about! If not, then watch closely over then next 1-2 weeks for signs of obstruction, including decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, etc.

No need to worry! Licking the wrapper won't be enough chocolate to cause Hazel any problems. Even eating a bit of the wrapper is not a worry. This should dissolve in her stomach acid and pass without issue. You don't need to do anything. I hope this helps!

The wrapper itself will probably pass in within 24-48 hours. You will have to check the stool until it comes out. Monitor for signs of GI upset such as vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.

If she chewed them up into tiny pieces, she will likely pass them. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.
