My puppy just swallowed a hair tie. He got to it before I could take it away and swallowed it. What can I do? Can he poop it out?

Oh no, that was naughty of Kiba! Hair ties are relatively small and can pass without problem, but if you are very concerned about it, you can take Kiba into a vet now who can induce vomiting with a shot.
