Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bowie. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. He will likely need x-rays of his belly. It is important to see where the foreign object is and how large it is comparable to his intestines. It may be able to pass in his stool if it is small. If not, he could require surgery to have it removed. If he starts to vomit, refuse food or water or becomes lethargic, these are signs of a blockage. This can indicate an emergency. I hope this information helps!
