But, if your dog ingested large enough pieces of the diaper or enough of the gel crystals, that could cause a foreign body obstruction and necessitate surgery (or removal via endoscopy if possible). If your dog is doing okay, then feed him a couple pieces of whole wheat bread (more fiber than white) every 4-6 hours. Take him for walks and see if you can get him pooping. If he starts vomiting, won't eat, has bloody diarrhea, is really straining to defecate, or becomes very lethargic, painful (hunching up, whining, crying, reluctant to move, etc), then take him to the vet. If you're in MD, MEAC is the emergency clinic in Rockville and there is an excellent ER up in Gaithersburg as well at VRA. Good luck!
