Puppy ate foam bedding, now has diarrhea and won't eat. What to do?

Question

Hello, my 7 lbs puppy seems to have eaten some bedding made of foam and maybe nylon. He started eating it Friday night/Saturday morning. He seemed fine initially - still eating and pooping normally. This morning, however, he didn’t eat his breakfast and had only soft stools. His most recent stool was completely liquid. He hasn’t vomited at all. Wondering if I should be concerned or if it will pass on it’s own. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 17 days old | 7 lbs

You should be concerned. There may some of that foreign material/bedding stuck in his stomach or intestines causing a blockage. This can be very serious. I would consider this an emergency. Please get Chikodi to a vet as soon as you can. Not eating and diarrhea can get a 7# puppy extremely dehydrated which can be life threatening.
