earlier today i was eating garlic knots and some of the top crumbs of garlic mixed with i believe cheese fell off onto the floor. my dog quickly went and licked it up. she was playing after but her poop is a bit soft but not complete diarrhea, we gave her a little stomach pill to help her. i'm scared that the garlic could have done something to her, help!

Typically that small amount of garlic would not hurt bells. It is possible she just has a mild upset stomach. I would recommend giving her a probiotic with boiled chicken and white rice for 12-24 hours. If her soft stool does not resolve I would recommend taking her to a veterinarian to make sure she does not have a virus,parasites or infectious disease
