I surely hope it does. The thing it a toothpick is likely to perforate the stomach or intestines while trying to pass. This is a true emergency. If she seems uncomfortable in the least I would get her to the ER immediately.
She seems fine as of this moment...she's running slower though but I think it's because of one of her legs was poked for an IV when she was at the vet.I surely hope it does.

I really have no clue if Candy chewed it...the toothpick had a piece of chicken covering half of it so she gobbled it down pretty quickly. My mom tried to get it away from her but it was too late. My mom and dad says that Candy swallowed it with maybe some chewing for the chicken...maybe.Oh, gosh, I'm so sorry!! JMM who answered you above ... she is an experienced vet tech so her advice is very valuable. What she says makes sense ... Please keep us updated!!
Is it possible that your little Malt chewed up the toothpick or did she swallow it whole?
I don't know what to believe anymore...='[. The vet tech i met in the morning said that Candy has a good chance to pass it. And the vet i met at midnight said that she had an 80% chance that she will be fine..but I'm pretty sure numbers don't mean anything right now.I surely hope it does.

Hahaha I just love my dog too much. I'm a guy btw..can guys still be mommys? :HistericalSmiley:Sounds like you did everything right! Hopefully she chewed it. She's pretty small to be swallowing it whole, so lets just hope she chewed it at least a little...
I agree with the above, watch her carefully (as you seem to be) and take her in at the slightest sign she's not doing well.

You seem like a good doggy mommy
