My dog ate a feminine pad and is coughing up foam. Is it an emergency?

Question

My dog ate feminine napkins and is now hacking and coughing everywhere. It gets worse when she is excited, she hacks up foam but swallows it. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 25 lbs

I would have Roxy seen by a vet immediately. The problem with feminine napkins is that they can easily cause a blockage of the GI tract, and a blockage could use her to hack and cough. If these napkins are still in her stomach, the vet may be able to removed them with an endoscope. Please bring Roxy into a vet now.
