Hello  all.  I have a 2 year old chocolate lab that  for a few days  ocassionally  acted like she was  trying to  be sick with  mouth wide open. this happened  3 times and  was very brief and then she  was acting normal agin. Sometime prior to that i found the remains of  small black plastic comb that she had chewed  up.  She eventually had a more severe reaction that she actually  was having a seizure, this lasted  longer but again she  came back to normal and i took her to the vet.  he looked her over and in her mouth if there may have been remnants of the comb quills that may have been still irritating to her.  Did not really find anything though he thought the back of her throat was a little red and she did have a bit of a fever.  She is now on antibiotics and benadrill.   My question is is the plastic itself  toxic to dogs?   She  has not had another problem  since we started  the medication  but it hasnt been  very long and i try to keep her calm when  i take her out to do her buisiness.  thanks for any advice in advance.
