I adopted a nine month old beagle mix last Sunday. He's been a really "quiet" car dog, as he usually just sits there or lays down. He doesn't look out the window or jump around, and he hasn't had a ride longer than half an hour. He does start to sort of "drool" and drip sometimes, which he doesn't do normally.
Today, though, on a ride about 40 minutes long, he threw up about twenty minutes into it. I had fed him two hours before we got in the car.
When cleaning it up, however, I noticed a piece of a plastic coat hanger (pretty small, no longer than 3/4 of an inch, and 1/2 an inch wide) I'd caught him chewing on earlier. Could this be why he threw up?
He acted perfectly normal when we got out of the car, running and playing and chasing squirrels. His poop was normal looking right after, but he did have a small yellow-ish bowel movement maybe an hour later.
If carsick, how do I work on this? If the plastic, should I take him to the vet? I really don't think there is any more in him.
