Thanks for reaching out with your concern. It sounds like you've been through quite a scare! When a dog ingests a foreign object like a plush toy, it can be worrying, but you're on the right track by acting quickly.
The time it takes for your dog to pass the toy depends on several factors, such as the size of your dog and his digestive health. Laxatone can indeed help by lubricating the stool and making it easier for your dog to pass the toy. However, it could still take a couple of days for the plush bone to work its way through your dog's system.
In the meantime, keep an eye on him for the following signs, which might indicate an obstruction or distress: vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy, or bloating. If you notice any of these symptoms, or if the toy hasn't passed in 2-3 days, it's crucial to consult a vet as these could be signs of a blockage which might need immediate attention.
Encourage your pup to stay hydrated and offer gentle, bland foods in small amounts, like cooked chicken and rice, to keep his digestive system moving smoothly.
If you're still concerned or notice any alarming symptoms, consider booking a video consult with us on Dial A Vet for further advice. We're here to help you and your furry friend feel better!

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
