My 5-month-old dog, Joe, ripped up and possibly ate some of a plastic furniture tarp. I'm not sure how much he actually ate, but it was probably 5 hours ago. What should I do to ensure he's okay and avoid any potential health issues?

My 138 lb 12-year-old German Shepherd has developed lumps and bumps over the years, including a hard round nodule on his rib cage.
