What Happens If Your Dog Eats Plastic?

My 7th month old Bichon Frise recently swallowed a small piece of plastic from a baby chew toy. She is restless and vomited once. She has been "pooping" a lot lately and is not her normal (hyper) self. I would really appreciate some advice. Thank you!

    Dogs cannot digest plastic.  If the piece is small enough it will pass through and come out the other end.
    If the piece is too large it will get stuck somewhere and this needs removing surgically.
    Now that you know she can destroy this type of toy - you need to get her tougher ones that she cannot bite bits from.

    That sounds like urgent surgery is needed to remove the plastic.

            Please be mature about something serious like this. Don't just assume the dog could die. If a pet has digested something it shouldn't, chance are high the owner will already start to worry. Don't throw someone into hysterics by feeding them false information.

            Go through it slowly and tell them that it would be best if the animal was taken to a vet very soon.
