My dog might have eaten something. What symptoms should I watch for?

Question

Nova got a way in my closet she was there for five minutes aprox. I have weird feeling that she ate something. She is behaving normal, eating and drinking normally but I can't shrug off this feeling. Any symptoms that could tell me? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | spayed | 3 months and 21 days old | 54.3 lbs

If you are worried she ingested an object, like a sock or shoe then you would watch for signs of gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, anorexia, abdominal pain, lethargy, or straining to defecate. If you are worried about a toxin ingestion these signs can vary widely and can include GI upset, rapid breathing or heart rate, excessive drooling, trembling, seizures, drunken appearance/gait, dilated pupils, pale gums, lethargy. If any of these signs occur seek veterinary care right away.
