My dog ate a paper towel with diluted bleach. What should I do?

Question

I was cleaning with water and bleach deluded about 4 to 1 and the wiping with paper towel. My 5 lb yorkie picked up one of the paper towel and chewed on it a few seconds before I took it away. Using a syringe I forced him to drink about 1/2 cup of water and he does not smell like bleach. he seems ok. Should I make him eat treats or take him for a walk? What should I do now? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 1 year old | 5 lbs

The chances of Teddy having any problem is unlikely with such a small amount. You did good by diluting it out with water. If you have milk of magnesia, you can also give him 0.5mL (approximately 1/8 teaspoon) of that to also help him. The biggest concern is him developing oral ulcers or esophageal ulcers. Watch him closely to make sure he is eating, drinking and acting normally over the next few days. If anything abnormal is noticed, have your vet take a look at him. I hope this helps!
