My bearded dragon got a hold of a fake fishing lure and ate a piece of it. The piece wasn’t very big but i’m worried it’ll hurt him. Any suggestions on what to do?

Take him to the vet. If he is a baby take him in double time. Impaction is no joke,take it seriously. Better safe than sorry

He’s isn’t a baby he’s a little over a year old. There isn’t any exotic vets open near me tomorrow just hoping he passes it.

Hello,

Since it is a very small piece, it "should" pass through. This is assuming that there wasn't
any sharp edges?
You can help things along with giving some canned pumpkin, & some unsweetened apple
sauce mixed with a drop or two of coconut or olive oil daily to see if that helps out.
Is h e doing ok so far?

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
