Awasome My Dog Ate A Toothpick References. Since for obvious reasons, the toothpick is not going to come out the same way it went in your dog’s body, you have to be very alert while looking for it. The wooden toothpick, even if partially chewed, could still cause a problem.

Try and quantify the number of toothpicks eaten by your dog, as well as where the toothpick came from, what food was consumed along with the toothpick, and at what time the incident took place. You're not in the clear even if it already went past her throat. Wood toothpicks can even be poisonous for dogs.
