My puppy ate paint brush wood. Is it dangerous? What should I do?

Question

I came home to my six month old puppy eating three or four paint brushes, she didn’t eat the bristles or the metal, just the wood. Will she be ok? What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | Black and Tan Coonhound | Female | spayed

Sara Farmer, DVM · Accepted Answer

She will likely be unaffected, particularly if she chewed the wood into small pieces first. If she swallowed a large piece there would be potential for stomach upset or gastrointestinal obstruction. I would monitor her and call your vet if she vomits, develops diarrhea or has a decrease in appetite.
