My dog ate a paper towel, should I worry? What symptoms to watch?

Question

My dog just ate a sheet of paper towel and so far is fine

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Dogs eat the weirdest things sometimes! The only problem with a paper towel is that there is a potential for it causing a blockage in his intestines. It can pass, and I would monitor your dog for the next 72 hours. Should you see any signs of a blockage, which include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, anorexia, and constipation, then I would take him into the vet right away.
