My dog ate Gold Bond cream. Is it toxic and causing loose stools?

Question

My greyhound was biting Gold Bond healing hand cream and bit end off and cream was exposed. He has loose stools. I am feeding him rice to bind stools. Does he have poisoning in his system? Pet's info: Dog | Greyhound | Male | neutered | 3 years and 9 months old | 73 lbs

Oh naughty Tristan! The good news is that the ingredients of Gold Bond healing cream are generally considered non-toxic, but can cause GI upset. Feeding rice is a good idea, but I would withhold food first because giving him the rice. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.
