Welcome to JustAnswer! I am a licensed veterinarian and specialist and will do my best to assist you today!

If this just happened I would encourage veterinary evaluation as soon as possible.

An x-ray is taken to confirm where it is located, likely the stomach at this time.

Then inducing vomiting may be considered.

This should not be done at home as there is a risk it can get stuck coming back up.

The risk of doing nothing is that it can often turn into an intestinal blockage which requires emergency surgery.

For this reason, being proactive and inducing vomiting with the guidance of your veterinarian would be best.

This is meant to be a running dialogue, and for this reason it is very IMPORTANT that you reply using the REPLY TO EXPERT button if more information is needed at any time BEFORE rating.

Positive RATING (EXCITED FACE or 5 STARS) is appreciated as this is the only way I know you have received the information and I receive credit for my time.

Please remember to ONLY rate my answer when you are 100% satisfied. IF you feel the need to rate "Poor Service" or "Bad Service", please STOP and reply to me via the REPLY TO EXPERT button with the issue you have. I will be happy to continue further and do everything I can to provide you with the service you seek.

With this communication - we are here to guide you in making the best decision for your pet. This is for informational purposes only. We are not allowed to diagnose and prescribe medications - rather provide a course of action to speak to your veterinarian about - and any medical therapy and treatment should only be performed after an in-person examination with your veterinarian as a professional-client relationship has not been established on the site. While information may be discussed, this is not intended as an encouragement for you to self treat your pet, rather information online, and any treatment provided should only be performed after consulting your veterinarian.
