My ferret ate string and is throwing up. Is it an obstruction? Vet?

Question

My ferret ate string from a sock and is throwing up pieces of it.. should he see a vet, or is he possibly getting rid of the obstruction on his own? He has normal poops and was behaving normally before he started vomiting. Pet's info: Exotic | Unknown - Exotic | Male | neutered | 5 months and 25 days old | 1.2 lbs

Hi there and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Any time we have a known ingestion of a foreign body and vomiting this warrants a vet visit asap. Likely your doctor will do x rays-or a series with barium (a substance ingested by the pet so you can see an obstruction in x rays more easily). I hope this helps and that Damien feels better soon!
