My dog ate a bobby pin. Should I feed her more food or rice now?

Question

I think My dog ate a bobby pin, I just fed her two bowls of rice(hoping to cushion her inner organs) immediately after she ate it, is it bad move? Should I start to feed even more? Pet's info: Dog | Japanese Spitz | Female | spayed | 11 months and 14 days old | 15.2 lbs

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Feeding more food may not necessarily help Yanyan, so I recommend withholding food and just offering water for the next several hours. If the bobby pin will become an issue, you will likely see clinical signs such as vomiting, decreased appetite, lethargy, etc. I would just feed her her usual diet for the next few days, and monitor her feces for passage of the bobby pin. If 2-3 days pass and she is still acting normally, she is likely going to be just fine. If at any time she starts showing any of the clinical signs I mentioned, she should be seen by a veterinarian right away. I hope this is helpful!
