My dog ate cooked shrimp tails. Will she get sick from eating them?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

A small/medium dog got ahold of about 20 cooked shrimp tails. Will she be okay? I am house sitting and I'm not sure the breed.

This may cause some vomiting and diarrhea. If you notice any of these symptoms and they persist for over 24 hours I would take the dog to the vet so he can be given some medication to stop the vomiting/diarrhea.
