My dog ate about 4 inches or Saran Wrap, we gave him bread and olive oil, what else should I do? We don’t have money for a vet visit.

At his size, he should be able to pass it in the next 24-48 hours. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain or straining to defecate. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.
