My dog ate plastic from a pee pad. Is it dangerous? What to do?

PLEASE ANSWER THIS AS FAST AS YOU CAN! So my dog just ate a plastic thing under the wee wee pad that make sure the pad don’t move a lot. Somehow he found a way to get it off and before I can get it out of his mouth he already swallowed it. PLEASE HELP ME!

Well that was naughty of Hachi to eat that! It looks like a small piece of plastic, so it may pass without problem, but there is always a chance that it could become stuck in his GI tract and cause an obstruction. The best thing to do is take him into a vet immediately to induce vomiting with a shot to get it out of his stomach and prevent any chance of obstruction. There may be an ER vet in your area; if not, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Now you can monitor him over the next couple of days to see if it passes. Check his poop to see if you can find it. If he stops eating, starts vomiting, has diarrhea, becomes very lethargic, has blood in his poop, or stops pooping, then the plastic piece may be stuck and you will have to rush him into a vet immediately. In that case, he would likely need surgery to remove it. Good luck, I hope this helps!
