My dog might have eaten glass. What are the signs of a problem?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Female | spayed | 50 lbs

I think my Rottie eat a piece of glass a little bigger than the size of a dime. She pooped earlier today but it was runny. She pooped later and it was more formed. If she did eat it, when would I start to see signs? I’m feeding her sweet potato and bread along with her regular food. She did throw up in between but no blood or issues after.

Vomiting and diarrhea could potentially be signs that the glass is causing a problem. If you see any additional vomiting or if the diarrhea progresses I'd recommend seeing a veterinarian. They might recommend x-rays as the first step to determine if there is glass present in her gastrointestinal tract.
