My dog ate rising croissant dough. Is it dangerous? What to do?

Question

My dog ate rising croissant dough (from grocery store, packaged) ...two pieces a little smaller than hot pockets. He is about 140 pounds. Should I use peroxide to induce vomiting, pumpkin to speed up passing it, or something else? How worried should I be? It's been about 15 minutes... Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 1 month old | 140 lbs

I am sorry for the late response. The website was experiencing a delay in posting questions. Croissant dough can potentially cause a foreign body blockage in the intestines. Since I see it has been more than the recommended time frame to induce vomiting (< 2 hrs), I would recommend monitoring Bubba for any signs of an obstruction, which includes: excessive vomiting (even water), lethargy, lack of appetite, and scant (few) feces). If you notice any of these symptoms then it is best to have him evaluated by your local veterinarian. You can take him on 20 minute brisk walks to help stimulate GI motility and feed him canned food for now. Hopefully he passes these with ease and only has mld GI symptoms (some vomiting or diarrhea). If you notice GI symptoms, then its best to give him a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese for a few days (in small amounts), and then slowly transitioning him back to his normal diet. Again I apologize for the delay in getting to your question due to a technical error. I wish you and Bubba well in the days to come. Take care.
