My favorite dog, Andy, one day ate a treat bag (<a href="http://www.dogtoys.com/treatnballbag.html" rel="nofollow">just like this</a>) with a plastic baggy full of treats inside. Like the whole thing, in one gulp. It was there one minute, gone the next. We had to give him stuff to make him throw it up so it came back pretty quickly, but there's my animal ingestion story. And Lady, a sweet old dog, was found tearing apart leftovers of a toy that had some electronic noise-making gizmo inside. I don't think we ever noticed the missing wires and pieces come out the other end, but she's home with a family now so hey, surprise for them.

A little different but sorta similar. My dog, Cooper loves socks dirty or clean. He loves them and will swallow them WHOLE. He doesn't chew them just swallows them, usually just throws them up. But once he found a new pair of Smartwool trouser socks and swallowed one sock. It took 4.5 days for it to pass, thank god he didn't have any difficulty either. He is known by the vet as the dog with the stomach of steel. A high-maintenance dog but I love him!! You are not alone. A little different but sorta similar.

You could not leave ribbon or festively decorated presents anywhere near where he was likely to get at them. Being young and naive at the time when Travis enjoyed his curly ribbon binges, I never knew that the situation may have been dangerous. I just waited for the ribbon to work its way through his digestive tract. He had some colorful poop in the early years, but then I wised up and he was able to live to age 18. And nothing ever tempting him like curly ribbon. He did enjoy an occasional potato chip and maybe a piece of edamame, but nothing else that was dangerous.

I'm sure dogs digestive tracks are different, but perhaps in a few more days you'll see something. Our current dog is a big fan of plastic cat toys.
