Hello,

My 8 month old German Shepherd, 65 pounds, swallowed about 2 inches of a himalayan chew last night. I had taken it away, but somehow she managed to get it back. I didn’t realize I shouldn’t feed her after, so that her stomach could digest it fully, so I fed her as usual. She hasn’t had diarrhea and is not vomiting, but she’s more lethargic than usual and is drooling all over the place. She seems like she doesn’t feel well, but she still has an appetite (pretty much nothing phases her appetite– she could be vomiting uncontrollably and still want to eat). I’m worried that the chew was forced into her intestinal tract, since she hasn’t tried to vomit yet and its been 24 hours, and about the complications that might cause. Or the chew could just still be in her stomach. Does anyone have advice on what I should do, and at what point I should take her to the emergency vet?
