My Dachshund ate a condom while out on a walk. She weighs 22 lbs (10 kg) and is two and a half years old, and I'm terrified it will harm her. I don't know what to do, please help.

    Hi there,

    It’s possible that the condom will eventually pass on its own. Keep an eye on her stools throughout the day to see if she has a bowel movement and, if so, what they look like (whether they’re "normal", if the condom is in there, etc.).

    Also, watch out for any signs of tummy pain. In these cases, your Dachshund might look at her flanks or belly, whine, bare her teeth or growl when you pick her up, or she might be restless or behave unusually. If this happens, it’s best to go and see your vet.
    If the condom still hasn’t passed naturally after 24-48 hours, it would also be best to consult your vet.

    All the best,
    Laura MICHEL
