We have a soft ottoman covered with a sort of pleather with stuffing inside. My dog chewed a small hole in the cover, and the pleather and the stuffing were on the floor. I’m not sure if he ate any. What should I look out for?

Oops sorry that happened! Thanks for reaching out. Stuffing from furniture like sofas can cause gastrointestinal distress including gastrointestinal obstruction. Signs you'll want to keep an eye out for are vomiting, unable to keep food or water down, regurgitating shortly after meals, inappetence, and diarrhea. Please take Murphy to see his veterinarian if you notice any of those concerning signs.

Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea loss of appetite or abdominal pain for the next few days. You can feed a bulky diet (bits of bread, canned food, etc) to help push any bits of foam through. See your veterinarian if you see any of the above symptoms.
