It's only been one hour since Willow the black lab mix.. ate a meat holder - those styrofoam things that come from the supermarket with meat on it. She is just lying around.. breathing labored... and eyes are tearing. I'm hoping she will feel better once it passes. She ate a bar of soap the other day.. you think she would learn?? oh well.. pray that she will be ok. she looks very sad at the moment.. just lying on the coach.. and lethargic.

If a dog ingests styrofoam, they may experience symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and lack of appetite. It is important to monitor the dog closely and contact a veterinarian for guidance on treatment. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the blockage caused by the styrofoam.
If a dog has consumed styrofoam, it is important to seek immediate veterinary care. Styrofoam can cause blockages in the digestive system which can be dangerous. A vet can provide appropriate treatment such as inducing vomiting or performing surgery if necessary.
be cause that what it ate most of its life
If a dog ingests a large piece of styrofoam, it could potentially cause an obstruction in the digestive system which may require surgical intervention. It's important to keep styrofoam and other potential hazards out of reach of pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
depending on how much it ate..if it ate lets say one piece (depending on how big the puppy is) then its stomach should be able to digest it somewhat...if it ate ALOT then i would say take it to a vet and have it checked out
