My dog ate plastic, threw up, and pooped it out. Should I see a vet?

Question

Hi a few days ago my dog threw some plastic from a small Tupperware container. I caught in time so only ate a little he threw up and two days passed and today he pooped some of it out. Should I take him to the vet? He’s eating normally and has been using the bathroom regularly. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 70 lbs

As long as he is eating and drinking normally, I would not be concerned. If he begins to vomit or loses his appetite, then I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at him and perform some diagnostic testing such as x-rays to help rule out a foreign body obstruction from the plastic. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
