Jake has decided to attack my mattress and these things have came off... I’m not sure if he swallowed one... picture attached! If he has will this just pass through? It’s a felt kind of texture!

It should pass in the next 12-36 hours. A bulky meal should help push it through. To be safer you can monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. Seek veterinary attention if he develops any of these symptoms.
