My dog ate a sock, threw up, but seems fine. Should I be worried?

Question

Both my dogs, i believe ate a sock. They aren't acting strange at all. Still eating and drinking water and holding it all down. Even going to the bathroom normally. BUT- Last night they both threw up. But still acting fine. One of my dogs look like she threw up most of the sock. And then the other one had more bile than sock. Should I be worried? Or just watch cautiously? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 49 lbs

Socks or pieces of it could potentially pass through the intestine even though in some cases they can cause partial or complete obstruction of the gastrointestinal system. I think at this stage from what you are describing you have still the option to wait and monitor them. I would recommend to take them for a check up at the first sign of lethargy, inappetence, persistent and continuous vomiting. You could add some mineral oil to the diet (10mls every meal) and give a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice until the sock is out.
