Hi and thank you for your question, It's difficult to say really. The type of laxative is important to know. You would have to watch him closely for the next day and rush him to the vet if he develops a significant diarrhea or any other abnormal sign. Alternatively, you could take him to the vet and have them watch him for the day just in case. that would be even better. Regards
