It's understandable to be concerned if your dog has swallowed a piece of their Nylabone Flexi Chew. While these toys are designed to be durable, ingestion of large pieces can potentially lead to digestive issues.
- Monitor for signs of digestive discomfort or blockage.
- Check for any unusual behavior or symptoms.
- Seek veterinary attention if concerned or symptoms worsen.
Most dogs will pass small pieces of Nylabone without issue, but it's important to keep a close eye on your dog over the next few days. Signs to watch for include vomiting, loss of appetite, changes in defecation, or any signs of pain. If these occur, a prompt vet visit is recommended.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
