This can cause gastrointestinal inflammation and possibly some obstructions. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to rule out these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.
