my black lab just swallowed one of these packing peanuts. should i have her puke it up? how do i do that?

feed it some bleach
Those things are mostly air. The stomach acid will probably break it down into nothing. Unless it was several dozen I wouldn't worry.

Keep an eye on her. As anther anon mentioned, she'll probably be fine.
That being said, you should take her to the vet if you notice any problems instead of trying to treat her at home in any capacity.
any other advice?
It should be no problem, and gone before you know it. Dogs have extremely fast digestive tract. That's part of the reason they can eat anything.
Some of the shit one of my dogs ate without consequence
>1oz pyramid lead sinker
>12 oz soda can
>Aluminum foil
>mesh sock used to hang hams in the smokehouse.
>Several used condoms
>Feline feces
>Canine feces
>Bovine feces
>Equine feces
>Human feces
>Used sanitary napkins
>styrofoam meat trays
And the only thing we had to go in to get was the wood/composite core of a hardball. It was fine for years (showed on x-ray) before it blocked the intetine.
holy moly

it will be fine, packing peanuts are edible. theyre literally made of corn starch I think, so she might have the shits or something but that's it

when I was a kid my dog once ate all my halloween candy, like a pillowcase full, wrappers and all. There were no ill effects.

I want candy now

My black lab eats rocks and shits em out, theyre fucking Billy goats

THAT kind of packing peanut is literally just cornstarch, so your dog will be completely fine. Lick one, amd if it dissolves you're fine.
The styrofoam ones are another matter, but if it's JUST ONE they'll probably just pass it.
I've eaten plenty of those, they're not going to do any harm.
try on another one and see if it's water soluble

>12 oz soda can
How the fuck

That exact same thing happened to me, a literal pillowcase. Some jerk from a school event encouraged us to hide our candy in our pillowcases to ration it out and make it last longer. Lasted a day before the dog(s) ate it, but they were fine

Packing peanuts are edible btw. They're cellulose.

They're corn starch. Your dog is fine. You can eat one if you like.
