Hi there. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. So sorry this happened to Marty. You should be very worried. Marty needs to get to a vet ASAP. It sounds like he may have a piece of that sock stuck in his intestines causing an obstruction. You cannot fix this at home. He needs to get to the vet for an exam and some x-rays. After that your vet will direct you as to what needs to be done based on the results. You cannot leave him untreated in this condition. This would be considered an emergency. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
