Dog eating a foil cupcake wrapper

[Peonypetalperfume]

My Labrador who doesn’t usually eat anything they shouldn’t (odd for a Labrador!) are a foil cupcake wrapper yesterday that I dropped on the floor, I had already eaten the cupcake. I’m concerned as it was a foil one. She has been eating lots of grass today and has had a bit of a dodgy tummy. I have convinced myself it’s going to cause an obstruction. Am I right to be worried or should I just keep an eye on her? Other than the grass eating/dodgy tummy she is her usually zoomy, bonkers self.

Thank you.

Keep an eye on their poo, mine have eaten socks and they came out the other end.

Will keep an eye, I haven’t seen anything come out yet!

When I saw your post title my first thought was if it’s a Labrador it’ll most likely be fine.
Over the years ours have eaten quite a few different things and all come out without a trip to the vet.
I would give it a few days and it will probably come out in some sick. One of ours liked eating the babies dummies and he was fine.

I would take her to a vet. I have a friend who's dog snaffled half a chopstick from a takeaway left on the pavement. It perforated his intestine, I imagine a foil wrapper could be just as sharp.

Thank you @Orangesare , that’s good to know! She has taken me by surprise as you can usually leave anything non-food based out and she won’t touch it. That’s one of her redeeming factors, there are many that aren’t quite so redeeming!

@Floydthebarber thank you for your message. It was kind of a soft foil one, but yes, I don’t want anything to happen to her. I will ring for advice on the morning.

Mine have eaten tin foil. Came out in the following few days. No adverse effects.

Mine has monstered his way through many a foil tray, sock and all manner of other items over the years. Always been fine

Perhaps with these stories I just need to get used to dogs eating random items!

Shiny shit incoming.

Mine has also eaten all sorts, a little tin foil will be absolutely fine!

@UrsulaPandress 🤣

She will probably be fine but it might put your mind at rest if you ring the vet. They'll probably say keep an eye, and watch out for strange symptoms.
I don't envy whoever has the job of poking around looking for it, it'll probably be all flat and in bits so it'll be quite a task 😅

@Unforgettablefire well my husband works from home so I guess that job falls to him whilst she is on his watch!
