Hello, my dog has just thrown up this and I don’t know if we should go and see our vets. It’s about 12cm long and looks almost rubbery in texture. Thanks in advance.

This looks like a foreign body, it could be a piece of material covered in gastric juices. Rinse it in water and it may be clearer what it is. I would definitely attend your vet as there could be more than this. Hopefully this is all the foreign body but best to be sure.
