If none of them contains xylitol, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. Vomiting and diarrhoea (more likely) can occur in the next 24-36hours as a result of the intoxication, but no other signs should be expected. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if you notice persistent vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
