No, it's not harmful but she may have diarrhea because of it. If she does get diarrhea it is usually self-limiting (meaning it will resolve on it's own with no treatment). Hope this helps. Best wishes!

    Aww Charlie is very cute! Milk is probably not the best food to offer Charlie. It can cause stomach upset and diarrhea so I wouldn't give him more in the future. If he ingested a small amount I would just monitor him for vomiting and diarrhea. Hopefully he won't have any problems! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
