My little 15lb. dog just ate a long piece of dental floss. Will this harm her??? We are going camping tomorrow. Can and should I take her or should we see a Vet?????? I don't want this getting wrapped around her intestines or something. Please advise!!!

He should be okay, just watch his poopie, also, you can feed him some vasoline and that will coat his stomach and intestines. No, dont worry, vasoline will not hurt a dog.

You should take extra floss with you camping as it will take a day or so to get back the original piece.
The dog will be fine but should be monitored next time she flosses.

Watch her poops to make sure it comes out. If it doesn't come out wihtin a day to two then I'd contact a vet to make sure it doesn't wrap around something and get stuck.

It should be ok. Just watch for it to come out the other end. I've seen times where half comes out, just hanging there. You might have to help her with the other half.

Don't worry... you can get it back after she poops it out, but I would wash it before using it again.
