Question
My puppy 12 weeks old swallowed saran wrap yesterday. He has pooped 2x so far today. Is there something specific I should do? What are the signs that it might be a problem?
Thanks

Answer
Fortunately you have plenty of time.  As long as he is eating normally and having regular bowel movements, likely he is OK.  If he starts running at both ends, call the vet.  Constipation or refusing to eat are bad signs too.  It only takes a moment's inattention, and intestinal blockages can be fatal.  Maybe you will be lucky this time.  Not much you can do except keep an eye on him.
