My dog found her way into some bread that was wrapped by aluminum foil. I came across her eating it with aluminum bits spread out all of the floor. She probably swallowed some bits. What should I do?

Your dog will not make it thru the metal detectors at the airport for the next three days, so you may want to cancel your flight.

Watch closely for any change in eating or bowel habits. Aluminum is not toxic, but a large enough piece may cause an obstruction. If you see anything weird in the next few days, see a vet immediately. Aluminum may show up on an x-ray, but its atomic number is too low for it to show up well.

I don't think that aluminum foil is good for your dog to eat. I suggest you call a vat or take the dog to the vet if you can. I don't think you want your dog to suffer or get sick . Think about it, it can be serious!

Takes her to the vet's as soon as possible. She cannot digest aluminum foil and because of this it will just stay in her tummy and might block the digestion of other foods which will cause her to starve to death.

keep it away from the microwave and go see a vet...aluminum foil can be a sharp object in anyone's body and rip up the insides

go to the Vet ASAP
Last month, my cousin's puppy ate aluminum foil. It started hemmoraging and defacating blood. It died a few days later.
Not scaring you or anything

The dog will be fine. Mine have rummaged the garbage more than once. If it isn't the tough foil that is for a baking pan or whatever, there won't be any trouble from it.

my dog eats foil all the time. but hes a lab .. and he also eats socks, cotton balls, string, just about anything he can find .. his little system is probably used to it by now. but you should ask your vet, especially if she starts throwing up or stops pooping and eating, then you know shes got a clog

if it's just a small amount i wouldn't worry about it....is your dog big or small?? if it's a small dog and it ate a lot of it, i would take it to your vet in the morning for an exam....
watch for diarhea, vomiting, unusual behavior and keep food out of reach...
good luck!
