Hello, sorry to hear about Diasy. Its likely that the Acetone may cause her some esophageal and stomach irritation and inflammation. However the aluminum foil would be unlikely to be digested and may cause an obstruction in her GI tract. If she has just recently ingested this, then it may be best to induce vomiting in an attempt to remove the foil. If unsuccessful, then your options may include waiting to see if she passes it knowing that if she doesn't then she may need surgery to remove it, doing an endoscopy to remove the foil, or going to surgery to remove the foil. You should have Daisy seen by a veterinarian to day to atleast obtain an x-ray and confirm the amount and presence of aluminum foil. Hope this helps and best of luck.
