My dog ate an AirPod wire. Is he okay? I already gave him bread.

Question

My dog ate a copper wire of whatever wires are in the apple earpods. Should I be worried? I feed him some bread. Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Male | unneutered | 11 months and 28 days old | 13 lbs

Yes, I would be concerned in that this copper wire can puncture his intestines. You did the right thing by giving Jax some bread, and I would continue to give him bread with every meal. This will form a ball of ingesta around the wires, and will hopefully protect the intestines as the wire passes. Keep an eye out for blood in his feces, anorexia, vomiting, lethargy, and diarrhea. If you see any of those signs, they can be symptomatic of the wire piercing his intestines, and I would Jax into the vet right away. Hopefully, they will pass without problem!
