My dog chewed a soda can. What if she swallowed small metal pieces?

Question

My dog chewed up a soda can, it doesn't look like she really ate any of it, just chewed it up. Should I be concerned about small pieces hurting her if she has to pass any? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 5 years and 6 months old | 75 lbs

Oh no, that was naughty of Lucy! Yes, the small pieces can cause damage to her GI tract, but if she didn't swallow any, that won't happen. Monitor her feces, and if you see any blood in it, that's a sign her GI tract was damaged by the can and I would have her seen by a vet.
