I found out today what to do if your dog eats a diaper. I accidently left a diaper outside (took it off so the two year old could go in the little pool) and Dozer snagged it when we weren't looking. He was out of our site for a max of about 5 minutes but he managed to eat probably 80% of the diaper. All the little bitty inside parts.
I called my vet and they told me to either wait for him to poop it out (making sure he drinks a lot) or to make him vomit. I chose the 2nd option. 10mL of hydrogen peroxide 10 minutes later he was throwing up foaming diaper pieces. Yuck. He's done it about 4 times ...
He is feeling okay I think, acting normal, drinking water, etc.. I'll be happier after he poops. My vet isn't overly concerned, but told me to just keep an eye on him and make sure he is functioning properly (bowels, etc).
