Dog ate underwear, passed it. Why is he still lazy and not pooping?

Question

My 9 month old golden retriever ate a pair of underwear at some point Friday night. He was vomiting most of Saturday night/Sunday morning. Around 6 am he pooped out the underwear and he also hasn’t vomited since around the time the underwear came out. He has had plenty of water and some dry food mixed with boiled chicken. He was able to play at the park for a little while after, but he is still kind of lazy around the house. He also hasn’t pooped since this morning.

Poor Sully! It's good he passed the underwear, there was a risk of it causing an obstruction. He will be feeling sick from all the vomiting, and that will cause him to be lethargic. I wouldn't worry about the not pooping since he pooped this morning. Keep feeding him the bland diet for the next couple of days, and as he improves, slowly add back in his normal diet. I hope this helps!
