My dog ate cotton from a pillow. Will she get an intestinal blockage?

Question

Nova destroyed my pillow, when I saw it was cotton all over and a look of innocence to avoid time out. What I am really worried is what if she ate some of the cotton pieces. Some of the pieces were very small it could have been so easy for to eat. I know Nova, her tendency is to taste everything in world.

Cotton stuffing from a pillow could cause an intestinal blockage if enough is ingested. However, if only a small amount was eaten Nova should be able to pass it with no problem. Watch for inappetance, vomiting, and diarrhea. If you notice any of these symptoms I would have a greater concern about a blockage and recommend taking her in to the vet to have X-rays performed. Hopefully his will not be an issue but keep an extra close eye on her today just to be safe. Best of luck!
