Question
my 2 yr old min pin ate a baby sock (o-3month old baby sock so fairly small) about 3 days ago he still hasn't passed it. hes eating, drinking, being his normal self. had a poop today it was a "normal" poop. should i be concerned?

Answer
Amanda-

If you are positive he hasn't passed it, yes I would be concerned- socks are completely undigestable, they have to come out. Try giving him some canned pumpkin to flush his system a bit. That works like a laxative (do NOT give him human laxatives)

If he still has not passed it by tomorrow, he should see a vet to have an x-ray and make sure it isn't stuck somewhere, which could cause serious health concerns.
