My dog ate a condom, it passed, but he's still vomiting. Vet needed?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 70 lbs

Hello, my dog swallowed a condom yesterday I believe and it has passed already this afternoon. He threw up this morning (before it passed and before he ate) and again just a little bit ago (before his dinner), should I still see a vet?

I am very sorry Leo has eaten something he shouldn’t have. Though it seems that he might have passed the condom, the fact that he is still vomiting is concerning. It means there could be a potential complication related to its ingestion, such as a blockage in his intestine which is a medical Emergency. I would advise taking him to see a veterinarian immediately for evaluation and treatment. The vet will perform a physical examination and may need to take x-rays to visualise his digestive tract. I hope this was helpful and that Leo feels better very soon.
