My dog ate a cupcake wrapper. Is she constipated or should I worry?

Question

My dog ate a cupcake wrapper three days ago and threw up for a few hours the next day, but now is fine and eating well. The only issue is that now she can't produce a bowel movement..could she just be constipated or should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 45 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. If Aubie is eating, drinking and energy level is good, then most likely the wrapper is not causing any problems. I would add canned pumpkin to her food (1/2 can in morning and at night) to see if that helps her defecate. If she is still not producing feces, is in pain when attempting to defecate or begins vomiting or show other symptoms, I would have your vet take a look at her. Abdominal x-rays should be considered if she is not improving. I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or concerns you may have. I am also available via consultation if needed.
