Hello there! It's understandable to be concerned when your furry friend ingests something like a plastic dental flosser. Fortunately, since it has already passed through, that’s a good sign! However, we still need to be vigilant for any potential issues.
When a dog ingests foreign objects, there’s a risk of internal blockages or injury. Keep a close eye on your pup for the next 24 to 48 hours. Watch for signs such as vomiting, loss of appetite, bloating, changes in stool, or signs of discomfort like whining or pacing. These could indicate that something is still caught inside, and it’s important to seek veterinary attention if they occur.
At home, you can help by feeding your dog a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, to ease their digestive system. Make sure they have plenty of water to keep hydrated and help things pass smoothly.
If your dog seems well after a couple of days, they’re likely out of the woods. However, if you notice any concerning signs or if your dog starts to show unusual behavior at any point, it would be wise to act promptly.
Feel free to book a video consult with one of our vet experts for personalized advice or if you’re unsure about anything—they're always happy to help!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
