Some of these objects will pass through the intestinal tract without problem. It is common for dog owners to find all sorts of objects in their dog's stool or vomit. In some instances, the foreign body may be able to pass on its own. Your veterinarian may recommend hospitalization of your dog for close observation and probably intravenous fluids, and will perform follow-up X-rays to track the progress of the foreign object. Time is critical, since an intestinal or stomach obstruction often compromises the blood supply to these vital tissues. If the blood supply is interrupted for more than a few hours, these tissues may become necrotic, resulting in irreparable damage or shock.

Your dog may vomit after eating something harmful, but it’s more likely that symptoms will take a couple of days to develop (depending on what they has eaten).
The quicker you take your dog to your vet, the better their chance of recovering without complications.
Never wait to see if a problem develops - your dog could become very ill or even die without treatment.
Dogs that receive prompt treatment from a vet are more likely to make a good recovery.
Unfortunately, some dogs (even with the correct treatment) develop long-term problems after eating toxic substances.
Acting fast could save your dog's life.
