My puppy ate a rubber toy, threw up pieces. Is a vet visit needed?

Question

My fairly large 8 month old Saint Bernard puppy ate pieces of a large thick rubber toy while I was gone today she just threw up and it contained three chunks of the toy. I’m just wondering if a vet visit is nessecary or if she’s fine since she vomitied it out. Pet's info: Dog | Saint Bernard | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 14 days old | 100 lbs

I would watch Lu for now. There could be other chunks of toy still in her GI tract, and it could be lead to an obstruction. Signs of obstruction include vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, a complete absence of pooping, and lethargy. If she continues vomiting or shows any of the other signs I mentioned above, have her seen by a vet. It can take up to 72 hours for a foreign object to pass, so watch her over the next couple of days. In the future, I wouldn't leave her alone with any toys she can destroy and eat to prevent a chance of obstruction. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
