My 9 month old cavapoo has swallowed a thong! He seems perfectly happy and acting normal. He's been pooing and eating normally I'm just starting to worry as this happened on wednesday and he still hasn't passed it!!

Oh no, that was naughty of Benji to eat the thong! It's good that he's acting normally, as well as pooping and eating. It can take time for the underwear to pass, but if it still hasn't passed by Monday, I would take him into the vet for an x-ray to see if the thong can be visualized in the intestine. If he stops eating, stops pooping, has diarrhea, starts vomiting, or becomes very lethargic, then rush him into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!
