Thanks for using PetCoacb! Black walnut is toxic to dogs and can lead to neurologic issues including incoordination, seizures, among other possibilities. For this reason, I recommend that you have Tanner evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and best wishes!
