My puppy ate ceramic and is lethargic. Should I take her to the vet?

Question

My dog may have eaten most of a broken ceramic egg last night and is moopy today and doesnt want to do much. She’s a 14 week old goldendoodle. Her respiration’s are even and unlabored, but she just wants to lay around. Will she pass this or should I take Her in? Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 10 days old | 20 lbs

I would recommend taking her in to the vet. Depending on the size of the ceramic pieces, they may or may not be able to pass through her system. Lots of small pieces could potential cause significant irritation as they pass through the intestines and can cause a lot of pain. Larger pieces may not pass at all and may need to be removed surgically.
