My dog ate underwear, now eating grass & has loud stomach noises. Vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Poodle | Male | unneutered | 13 lbs

My miniature poodle ate a 1.5x1.5 inch part of my underwear like 3 days ago. He's been doing normal since, he's eating and playing like usual. But I'm worried because he's been eating a lot of grass yesterday and he doesn't usually do that and he also has loud stomach noises. Should I be worried about it and go check him by a vet or is this normal?

If he does not show signs of vomiting or abdominal pain and if he has normal appetite and he is passing normal stools you should monitor him at home. The signs of a foreign body / obstruction in the small intestine include vomiting, abdominal pain, lack of appetite, not passing stools at all. If you see any of these signs, you need to take Gianny to your vets right away.

    Eating grass and having increased abdominal sounds are not quite the symptoms that we would worry about obstruction. But please, keep a close eye on him over the next 2-3 days. If after 4-5 days from eating a foreign object he is still OK, it will mean that he is out of trouble for sure.
