    Staffy ate tampons
    My male staffy ate several tampons, will he be able to digest them? If not what can I do?

    Several?

    Well, because tampons swell with moisture, he may become blocked. I would contact the vet and follow his/hers advise. If it was 1, I would just suggest to wait and see, several? That could be very dangerous

    The material inside tampons, cotton batting, may cause a problem in his intestines. 'Several" is enough to do some damage. I think you had better take him to the vet.

    If he ate one, I would say it might not be an issue. People feed their dogs cotton after they have eaten cooked bones to cushion the stomach lining. But several could certainly be cause for concern. I will echo Lucky's advice here and contact your vet and follow their instructions.

    I do see that you have posted this question a few days ago, is there an update you could provide us with?
