i think you should take him to the vet just incase. if it was very sharp it could easily pierce his bowels. if it was blunt it might pass but could still pierce him.

There was a really good post on here not too long ago about what to do if your dog swallowed glass. It involved feeding your dog cotton so it would wrap around the sharp object, I think if you do a search you should find it no problems. Oh also agree with other post, you should take your doggie to the vet.

Don't feed your dogs cotton!! This could lead up to more problems such as intestinal blockage, or choke them from hanging in their throat.

You need to take your pup to the vet imediately!! The intestines in a young dog are thing and have so many bends and curves, that its almost certain to peirce through. Your going to end up spending much much much more money if the dog does get injured from trying to pass it, than taking him/her to the vet and having it checked out or removed by them.

Please. don't wait any longer, take him/her now.

Then my vet book say to feed a can of punkin pie mix will flush it out quickly. watch his belly closely for any swelling a sing of internal bleeding.

I saw that post on dipping cotton balls into yogurt and that made me very leery. I would definately seek medical advice from your vet before giving them something else that could just make it worse. I would think that not only are you ended up with tears, holes and preferations from the glass or sharp object but you would also be causing a blockage....
Just seems scary to try on your own.
