My dog swallowed a condom. However, i gave him hydrogen peroxide and he threw it up 10 minutes after. He is a new puppy. I’m nervous about it.

If the condom was entirely in the sick there is nothing to be extremely worried about. I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, lethargy or inappetence.
