My dog ate plastic from treats. What signs should I watch for?

Question

My boxer just got into the puppy’s treats! He chewed open the plastic and I couldn’t find all the plastic. When he was little he ate plastic a lot. I’m now stressed out that he will get sick from doing this. Any help is appreciated. Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | neutered | 10 years and 1 month old | 90 lbs

That was naughty of Tank for getting into the puppy treats! He's a big boy, so hopefully this plastic will pass without problem. There is always a chance of it could cause an obstruction, so keep an eye on him for signs of obstruction which includes vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, and lethargy. If you see any of those signs, take him into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!
