Poor Colby! If you haven’t already induced vomiting, I probably wouldn’t at this point. If he ate them more than a couple of hours ago, inducing vomiting likely won’t help. Instead I would start feeding him a high fiber canned food like a “light” canned food. This will help bulk up the stool and help the tampons to pass. If at any point he stops eating or starts to vomit, I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to do X-rays to see if he is obstructed. I hope this helps!
