Depending on the amount ingested, you may see vomiting and/or diarrhea within the next 12 hours. Usually, either can be managed with a 24 hour fast followed by a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain in addition to persistent GI upset. See your veterinarian if symptoms worsen, do not resolve or if any of these other symptoms are observed.
