My dog is nauseous and threw up plastic. Is more inside? What to do?

Question

I noticed he is kinda nauseous recently. Otherwise he acts perfectly normal! He pottys fine and eats fine. Today he threw up some plastic! I know the little shreds of black are from his crate but the gray plastic I have no idea where it came from but I think it's pretty old given that he hasnt had anything gray in awhile. Could he have more in his belly? What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 55 lbs

I'm sorry to hear that Spock has been having nausea and vomiting lately. Yes, it is possible that he still has more plastic or other foreign material in his stomach or intestines. Since he has been vomiting, it is concerning that he may have developed an intestinal obstruction from this foreign material. At this point, the best thing you can do is take Spock to his vet for an exam and he will also likely need abdominal x-rays to determine if an obstruction is suspected. Withhold food for the next 12-24 hours after his vomiting. I hope that all goes well!
