My dog ate oak apple galls and has liquid poop. What should I do?

Question

I believe my dog ate oak apple galls and pooped them out. I know oak leaves and acorns are poisonous to dogs, are the galls as well? After he pooped them out he then pooped just liquid mucous. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 33 lbs

The galls can cause gastrointestinal upset if ingested in large quantities. The excess mucous is likely due to inflammation/irritation in the colon caused by the galls. Withhold food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until the stool is normal then transition slowly to the regular diet. If symptoms persist, see your veterinarian.
