Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 9 months old | 90 lbs

My dog ate human poop which I believe contained adderall (10mg) and alcohol but since these things were already um... processed will it hurt him? He was really acting funny but since he threw it up he seems better still a little off (clumsy,tired, etc) is there anything I can do for him ? vet is closed otherwise I'd take him just in case

I would not be too concerned. There should not be much, if any, substances left in the feces. Continue to monitor Charlie and if he continues vomiting or feeling unwell then you might want to seek veterinary help. Hope this helps! -Dr. Gordon
