My dog has a toy stuck in its rear end. Will it pass naturally?

Question

One of my toddler's toys became lodged in my dog's rear end. I then tried to get it out but it just became lodged in much much deeper. I am not able to afford non emergency pet care.. Will the dog be able to get it out naturally? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female

Ultimately this depends on the size of the toy and the size of the dog. If it was small enough to fit into the anus, I would say there is a decent change that it might be able to work its way out, so long as it hasn't moved too far into the colon. There is a certain point in the colon where it takes a turn, at which point it will be much more difficult for it to move in the other direction. While I certainly can appreciate your financial situation, should this item not be able to pass on its own Daisy would require a procedure to remove the object. Once again, depending on its location in the GI tract, an open abdominal surgery versus a endoscopic procedure is possible. Anyway, I hope things move along in the natural fashion and that Daisy ends up OK! Hope this helps!
