My puppy ate a pee pad. Now he's vomiting bile & has diarrhea. Should I worry?

Question

My 5 month old puppy ate an entire pee pad 2 days ago. He’s been acting normal as well as eating and pooping normally. This morning, however, he through up yellow bile 2-3 times. He had a normal poop and then minutes later had to poop 2 more times and it was softer poop, almost diarrhea. I haven’t noticed any traces of the pee pad in his Poo over the last couple of days. Could it be stuck somewhere in his intestines? It doesn’t seem like there’s a blockage. Should we be worried?

It is very possible, and I would be worried if he's now having vomiting and diarrhea, as that may indicate a partial blockage (where some but not all stool is able to properly pass). If his symptoms continue, or none of the pee pad is passing, I would schedule a vet visit immediately to check for foreign body.
