How soon would we notice symptoms of eating plastic?

We have a small 4 month old around 8 lbs.

We hosted an event at our house yesterday in the backyard and let her roam around while people hung out. We served food on paper plates with plastic forks.

Midway through, we noticed the puppy was chewing on a plastic handle in the yard. My wife started panicking thinking that the puppy had eaten the top fork/spoon part.

I started pushing around the pups tummy and didn’t feel anything sharp or jagged.

Of course Google emphasized the importance of bringing the dog to immediate assistance to avoid any kind of blockage. The only thing is we don’t know if she actually ate the top part at all. She was still being a happy puppy with no indications of discomfort.

We ultimately decided to just monitor her throughout the night.

Today she’s totally normal. Eating, pooping, playing. No issues what so ever.

Should we still be concerned? If she had ingested any kind of plastic, would she have had any type of symptoms by now over 12 hours later?

My 11 year old (12 in August) is losing his vision suddenly. Like in the matter of 2-3 weeks, he’s been running into walls. It’s breaking my heart.

We took him into the vet yesterday and they took him back to test for blood pressure and I believe glaucoma. They said he looks good health wise but has cataracts. They referred us to an eye specialist which we plan on making an appt for as soon as possible.

When we brought him home, he was pretty fine. More walking into walls but that’s kind of been the norm the past couple weeks. My concerns come from him keeping his eyes closed more now. Did the vet put something in his eyes that might be bothering him? Is it something we need take him back in for or give it more time? He slept through the entire night with no issues.

Also the vet mentioned there are options for treating cataracts. Has anyone successfully done this and can attest to its effectiveness? Is it possible for my boy to regain his vision?

Apologies if this is the wrong sub.

My wife has a Pixel 8 Pro 128 gb. She recently approached me telling me her memory is full and she’s unable to download apps.

I looked at her phone and see 26 gb is under photos, 26 gb is under videos, and 13 gb is under operating software.

The other 60 something gb falls under apps. I suggested she delete some apps which she said she has.

I currently have a DropBox account with 2TB of storage, I haven’t even made a dent in it so I told my wife she could just move her photos and videos to the Dropbox. We adjusted some things in her phone and thousands of pics have transferred over.

The issue is it appears not ALL of them have moved.

Is there a way to ensure all the content from her phone has duplicated and/or transferred? I just don’t want to tell her to start deleting things and then I be incorrect with what has and hasn’t moved over.
