Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult. DO NOT WORRY. Even if he swallowed it, its very small, and round and smooth. So it will not injure him. You will have to keep a watch on his poo, searching for the item. It may well take around 1 weeks time but it will come out. Since its rubber it won't be seen even if we take xray. Anyways don't panic
