My German Shepherd ate my teeth guard. What symptoms to watch for?

Question

I have a teeth guard that I wear during sleep to prevent grinding my teeth. I let the dogs out yesterday morning and took out the guard to whistle. I can't find the guard and fear one of my 2 German Shepherds might have eaten it. One is a male of 80 lbs., the other female 85 lbs. They both pooped at the park yesterday afternoon and again at the park mushy (not unusual for a park visit). The female pooped a normal BM this morning. The male does not always go so soon after a park visit. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 9 years and 11 months old | 85 lbs

If the guard is metallic you can take them to a veterinary office to have x-rays performed. It shows up quite obviously. Otherwise, I would just continue to monitor them for the next several days and check their stools for signs of it. If they develop any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or anorexia,, have them seen by a veterinarian ASAP.
