    Hello everyone! About 14 hours ago, I was out in the driveway with my 11 week old lab mix puppy (around 12-17 pounds) grooming him and we walked over to the artificial grass in our front yard and he swallowed a stick/mulch piece about 1-1.5” in length! I tried to grab it from his mouth but it went right down! I was very worried and immediately called an emergency vet (he is not set up with a normal vet/insurance company just yet) and she advised us to just watch for any lethargy, vomiting, and refusal to eat. He has been fine since swallowing the mulch piece (normal poop and energy levels) and has had no symptoms that I’ve noticed. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same thing happen to their puppy and how everything ended up going. Thank you!

    Hi Reanna,

    Welcome to the forum, was your puppy ok in the end? I hope he's fully recovered from his culinary adventures!
