Help please white things in puppys water

Hi please advise us if younknow anything,

We have a very tiny 10 week yorkie pom we just found 3 long white stick like things in his water kinda like plastic all the same length.
Mid week we bought he a pack of beef dog chews advertised for puppies which he just sits there and chews them. I suspect it is these things we have found in his bowl, to find three of them all white in his bowl i doubt he just dragged and put them
In there so i suspect he swallowed them and brought them back up he has a tiny stomach and these are pretty big , he has shown no sign of any illness

I have placed another dog chew in water to see if they expand and dissolve white like the ones i found
The photo shows the three things we found

Never take any chances with a puppy. Have the vet check him over and if possible take a sample of the things in his water bowl with you.

Good luck

Thank you,

They confirmed it was the chew sticks and possibly he digested them, they was happy he did not need an xray after ceeling his stomach and checking his mood.

This is our first puppy/dog and never knew how dangerous these chew sticks can be! It was like a stick of glue

Much better to feed a raw meaty bone or raw chicken wing - no nasty chemicals, and good for cleaning the teeth.

I'd also give them a raw bone to gnaw or even a carrot. failing that there are plenty of rubber chew toys available.
