Your dog may experience some GI upset, not only from ingesting the plastic but because of the gasoline as well. Gas can be harmful to thebthrpat/esophagus and can cause ulcerations and vomiting. I would recommend contacting your veterinarian as soon as possible because decontamination treatment may need to be started. Also, it would be a good idea to contact the pet poison helpline ( http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ ) Let us know if you have any other questions or if Griffey shows any other signs of illness.
