My dog chewed a phone charger cable. What if she swallowed bits?

Question

Hey, my dog chewed on a cellphone charger cable. I'm not sure if she swallowed any bits. What should I do, and what should I observe? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 9 days old | 11 lbs

Hello. If you can account for the majority of the cable, then I would not be too concerned. Any very small pieces if swallowed will pass through the digestive tract. But over the next 3-4 days, if Filomena shows any signs of lethargy, belly pain, vomiting or loss of appetite, you will need to have her seen by your veterinarian.
