Question

My 15 week old pet swallowed latex glove she’s thrown up and a lot was in the vomit what else do I need to watch for. Pet's info: Dog | Multi-Colored Standard Poodle | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 19 days old | 25 lbs

Some other pieces of the glove could actually be still inside her gastrointestinal system and cause obstructions or quite dangerous gastroenteritis. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm/rule out these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.
