Hi, my dog ate feed corn that you qould put out for deer. He is a 60 lb border collie. It was the filling for my heat pack that i usually microwave. But the corn pieces are hard, the kind you feed to deer. Should I take him to a vet?

Angus will be able to digest the corn, so I would only be concerned if it was a large amount (more than a 1/2-1 cup or so). If Agnus has an vomiting, decreased appetite, or lethargy, I would recommend taking him to the vet.
