The kernels are fine, but the cob is not: a swallowed piece of cob is a common cause of gut blockage that needs surgery.
Already ate it?

Watch forVomiting, refusing food, a painful belly, straining or very little stool — often 1–3 days later, sometimes longer.
Thinking of giving it?
WhyA cob doesn't break down in the gut and doesn't pass. It usually needs surgery.
Where this comes from. VCA Animal Hospitals — Foreign Bodies in Dogs; Japanese Journal of Veterinary Research (1981) — intestinal obstruction in dogs (corn cobs).
