1. Don't ask us on an internet board
call your vet and ask!

2. Call your vet and ask him/her.
A big concern is blockage, too. When you call, be sure to have a list on hand of all the cleaning products you may have used in regards to that sponge.

Good luck to you and puppy.

I didn't know it until it came out the other end..



Can't imagine how painful that must have been...

8. Dog's digestive system is extremely powerful and tough, but
there are some things they just can't tollerate, like nuts, that you really don't think about....Might be a good idea to check with the vet on your next trip about things not to feed a dog.
(I know the sponge was not on purpose, just adding my
$.02.)
