If you suspect Jake ate a foreign body or he is showing signs of illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, painful or tender abdomen, severe bloating of the abdomen, or bloody vomit or diarrhea, it is best to bring him into your vet ASAP. They can examine him and check for any possible foreign bodies that may be causing an obstruction or other issues.
