I would be surprised if you observe any severe ill effects from Pgmdad's seaweed ingestion. In the off chance she would become obstructed from the seaweed, you would likely note inappetance and vomiting within the next few days. Contact your vet if you note these changes. If she experiences any diarrhea, offer boiled white meat chicken and white rice in lieu of her regular dog food.
