she ate WHAT?!?!

my pug got into our bathroom trash where there were some...well, the only way to put this is bluntly...there were used tampons and pads. She ate them, and now she is drinking lots of water, and then she coughs and kind of gags. She's been doing this all day, I'm really worried especially since I'm a college student, I don't have the money to spend on an expensive vet visit, but I'm so scared...what should I do???

If she is drinking water they will swell up and may be difficult to pass.

You could give it some time to see if she passes them but my advice would be to go to the vet incase they are causing a blockage.
Please contact the vet immediately. As Vicki & George said, blockage or obstruction is a likely possibility and it can be a life threatening.

Best wishes to your little pug.
I second that, contact your vet right now! Those things are made to swell up.
GO to the Vet. They will only swell as they feel the need to drink. A pug's belly could obstruct pretty fast given what she ate. Please let us know how she's doing.
It's probably too late now, since this was posted this morning, but when our dog ate a panty hose knee high, the vet told us to induce vomiting by giving her a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide. It came right up, although poor Nanny wasn't very happy about it. Sometimes, even when you're watching them, they'll just gobble stuff up. They are faster than we are in that department. :?

I hope your pug is okay.
