My dog ate sour cream and onion popcorn. What symptoms to watch for?

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 6 years and 11 months old | 6.4 lbs

Hello. I have a very small 6.4lbs chihuahua who had recently ate a popcorn (no larger than a pencil eraser) that had a small amount of sour cream and onion kernels seasoning on it. I was told that my dog would be fine, as the dosage was too small to have any severe effects but, I am still concerned. What signs should I be looking out for just in case? All answers are appreciated!

I agree that she should be fine. Main things I would look for are vomiting, diarrhea, not eating and lethargy. If you notice any of these or any other abnormal signs I would have your vet take a look at her. Your vet can do some bloodwork to ensure everything looks ok and give her fluids if needed. I hope this helps!
