Hi my 8 month old pupper had a lot of coconut oil by mistake. She has already thrown up twice. Should we be worried or will it wear off soon?

Typically if dogs ingest a large amount of oil it can cause gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea. I would recommend continue to monitor simba and limit the amount of water and food until Simba stops vomiting. IF Simba continues to vomit I would recommend taking her to a vet for medications to stop the vomiting and calm her stomach. I hope that helps
