My dog ate half a banana nut muffin including the paper sleeve. Will he get constipated?

I dropped the muffin on the floor. He dove for it before I could react. I could only get half of it out of his mouth. He then reached into the trash can and ate the rest of the paper while my back was turned. He was a bad dog this morning.

    I am sure your dog will be fine. Ive caught my own dogs in the act of devouring muffin and cupcake paper. Your dog should be able to pass it out with no problems.

    If anything probably the opposite; he might have some loose stool. That depends partly on the size of the dog since half a banana nut muffin would be a lot more for a 7 pound dog than a 70 pound dog.

    He will probably be OK.

    Can you put the trash where the dog can't get into it? like put in a cabinet under the kitchen sink and put a child proof lock on the door?

    The paper is all my dog used to get when the wife baked muffins. It's paper, it's fibre, it digests in the dogs stomach.

    Not any more though; he's on a forced diet so no more people food for him. At least, not when my wife is watching.

    And my dog has been trained to not get into garbage - actually, that's a lie; he simply has never gone after the garbage. He's a GOOD DOGGY.

    Not the dog's fault. Put the trash wherethe dog can't get to it. And just keep an eye on him. Rush him to the vet if he has troubles.

    do you recognize how plenty nuts are interior the muffin? because of the fact nuts are regularly risky to canines, they could get an allergic reaction or...um...yea... yet while his face starts swelling...have him drink as plenty water as available. and have him pee it out...have him consume somewhat extra too! Hurry! while you're fortunate...he gets extra useful tommorow!a million stable Lucy! :)

    Don't worry he should be fine. Maybe he will get some diarrhea.
