You may see some GI upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea). Patriot should be able to pass the small wrappers in the next 24-48 hours. Monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. See your vet if necessary. You may want to feed a bland diet (boiled boneless/skinless chicken breast and plain white rice) for a few days.
