My dog ate ashes, vomited, and is still gagging. What should I do?

Question

Our dog licked a small amount of ashes (like a few flakes) from the smoker yesterday leading to her vomiting mucus and white foam yesterday. She hasn't had any change in energy, BMs, breathing, etc. and kept her food down this morning but she's still gagging (maybe once every two hours) like something's caught in her throat. I called her vet and the tech wasn't very helpful, she just told me that since I know her best, if I'm concerned I should go to the emergency vet because they don't have any. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 11 months old | 65 lbs

Hello! I am glad Luna is otherwise feeling good. It is possible that vomiting yesterday has irritated her throat or she got ahold of something while no one was looking. If her throat is what she is reacting to, it should decrease slowly over a couple days. If she is still gagging just as much after 48 hours or any of the parameters you are monitoring change such as energy, appetite, etc. then it would be a good idea to get her checked out by her regular vet.
