My 3.5-year-old Pomeranian swallowed a glass marble at 10:30 this morning and has no reaction yet—any way to pass it?

After a dog swallows a glass marble, you can try a gentle lubricant or lactulose, which lubricates the intestines, adjusts osmotic pressure, and promotes peristalsis and bowel movement. You can also feed fiber-rich foods like pumpkin, cabbage, and sweet potato to aid motility.
Observe for 2–3 days; if the dog passes the marble, then help it recover its gut afterward. If the dog becomes constipated or can’t pass the marble, consider taking it to a veterinary hospital for surgery.
