My dog swallowed a no-hide treat. Should I worry if he seems fine?

Question

My dog swallowed a large piece of no-hide treat. He ate his dry food fine. About a half hour later, he walked normally on our walk, and initially he was making some noises like he was trying to exhale it out, but no signs of choking now. Pooped okay, though seemed a little strained at the end (but might be because he has diarrhea due to antibiotics right now). He came home and drank lots of water, had a few small treats, and is napping now. Breathing seems normal. Any need to worry?

I do not see any need to worry at this time. If it was stuck in his throat, then he would be continually gagging and coughing. There is also not much of a chance it would be causing problems in the stomach or intestines, because these are digestible. Signs of a blockage are: not eating, not pooping, vomiting, and acting very depressed/painful. If you happen to see these signs, then this would warrant an urgent trip to the vet. Otherwise, he seems to be doing OK, so I wouldn't be concerned. I hope that helps and all is well with Coby.
