My dog ate vet wrap. Will it pass or cause an intestinal blockage?

Question

Trick has eaten a large piece of vet wrap bandage which I put on his foot as he cut his pads should I be concerned it was about 20cm long and I couldn't find any pieces in his crate or will it pass through no problem

Trick did eat a good size piece of vet wrap! Hopefully, it will pass through without problem, but I would monitor him to be safe for signs of obstruction just in case. These signs include vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, lethargy, and constipation. If you see any of those signs, I would take Trick into the vet right away. If he is a larger dog, it should pass without problem, but it's always good to observe him to be safe.
