I have a three-week-old tom poult who swallowed a small piece of plastic. (A syringe cap: no sharp edges, about half an inch long.) I contacted our vet and he believed it would "handle itself." I have him isolated for monitoring. His appetite is excellent, acts like he feels fine, drinks regularly, no changes in bowel movements. I'm checking all of his droppings but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I did not ask the vet if he thought Jefferson would pass the cap whole or if it would break down. It was a translucent blue, if it broke down I'm not even sure I could see it. He ate it almost 72 hours ago. I'm just wondering at what point I can stop worrying. Thank you for any feedback.
