Dog ate paper towel, vomited yellow bile. Seems better, but vet needed?

Question

My dog ate a small piece of paper towel 2 days ago. Yesterday he didn't want to wat his food only ate a bit of apple. He was ok otherwise. At night we felt he wasn't feeling well. This morning he threw up yellow slimy bile. He seems better now. Did this indigestion of foreign item pass? Or should I take him to the vet still? Pet's info: Dog | Morkie | Male | neutered | 10 years and 2 months old | 7 lbs

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If Kalua is still acting sick, straining to pass stool, vomitting or not eating you may need to take him to the vet. A paper towel by itself probably wouldn't cause an obstruction but if there was grease on it or he ate something else he could have gastritis, pancreatitis or an obstruction. If he is acting more normal today, feed a bland diet such as chicken and rice for a couple of days (Plain, no fat, skin, bones or seasoning). But if he continues to vomit or not eat, has diarrhea or constipation he should be seen by his vet. I hope he feels better soon.
