Hi there I would recommend that your take Ballo to the ER vet. They can make him vomit safely and watch him for signs of toxicity. Avocado leaves are toxic and he needs to be on some fluids to help flush his system. You can call Poison Control and see if the amount he ate is toxic: ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435), or the Pet Poison Helpline (855-213-6680) If you absolutely can't get to the ER soon, here is what you can try, but the ER is best. If Ballo hasn't eaten in 2 hours or more, offer him a small meal. If he won't eat, that's okay. One teaspoon = five ml. The maximum amount of hydrogen peroxide to be given at any one time is 45 ml, even if a dog weighs over 45 pounds. Squirt the hydrogen peroxide into the back of the dog’s mouth using the syringe or turkey baster. If vomiting has not occurred within 15 minutes or so, he needs to go to the ER. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Pet Coach!
