My dog ate Flex 2500 chews and is vomiting. Should I go to the ER vet?

Question

My dog ate almost an entire container of Flex 2500 Soft Chews (he ate at least 60, maybe more). He has vomited twice. Should we seek emergency attention? Attached is a photo of the ingredients. He is a 60 lbs cocker spaniel/Rottweiler mix. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 5 years and 3 months old | 60 lbs

Oh no, how naughty of Bentley! While not overly common, it has been shown that overdoses of joint supplements can lead to liver damage. Unfortunately, there is not much information known about the specific dose of glucosamine that can lead to this liver insult. For this reason, I do recommend taking Bentley to an emergency vet fairly urgently. They will be able to check his current blood chemistry to check his liver values and will likely recommend hospitalization for monitoring, IV fluids, and liver support medications. I hope this helps and that all goes well for Bentley!
