Expert Answer

After swallowing a foreign object a puppy may show: if lodged in the throat or esophagus, rapid breathing, difficulty swallowing and pain. Once in the digestive tract it feels discomfort and may try to vomit it out.

A very sharp object can cut or pierce the esophagus or stomach, causing severe internal bleeding that threatens life. If your puppy swallowed something, watch its reactions and seek care if abnormal signs appear.
