Yeah, Jake, agreed. It was Monday morning when he first started acting different, and puked out half the Nerf bullet by Monday afternoon. He continued trying to puke our the rest through the day, and was acting pretty normal. He never did get it up.
So Tuesday, we took him to our vet, where an x-ray and physical exam, blood test, and anti nausea medicine cost about $400. The x-ray showed no gas or solid blockage yet, but also doesnt pick up the foam. The physical exam showed everything nice and soft still.
Our instructions were to wait 48 hours to see if he could pass the rest of the foam. He is just sleeping, but his breathing is normal. He will only eat if we force it on him, but we were told to keep doing that to help his digestive system pass the foam through.
Hopefully, he passes it, as he isnt trying to puke it up any longer. So if he doesnt pass it, surgery (or euthanasia - a real shame as he is 100% healthy, fun loving, active and only 4 years old) is the only option.
