Unfortunately that could definitively cause gastrointestinal inflammation and obstruction, which may be completed. It is very likely that the signs you described are due to this foreign body. A check up and some form of imaging (radiographs or better ultrasound) are definitively needed to confirm my clinical suspicion and treat appropriately. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
