My dog, who is a Chihuahua, consumed some aluminum foil a couple hours ago, nd now he's acting really slow nd out of it. How bad is it to swallow a little bit of aluminum foil?

Really, it depends. How much is a little? Was it rolled up, a sheet, or shredded into tiny bits? Aluminum is not toxic so the concern would be blockage or internal damage. Both could happen but the most likely event is that it will pass through. The safest thing is to call a vet and ask but in my experience, they will tell you to watch him for signs of blockage or for a coffee ground appearance in the stool from stomach bleeding or dark stool from intestinal bleeding. It is generally not an emergency but, again, at least call a vet.

Must be lacking roughage in his diet. Seriously though, take him to the vet.
