Question

My dog ate half of my ferrous gluconate pill will he be OK? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 4 years old | 75 lbs

Since your dog is a big dog, it is unlikely that 1/2 of a ferrous gluconate pill will cause problems. However, ferrous gluconate can have side effects such as constipation; darkened or green stools; diarrhea; loss of appetite; nausea; stomach cramps, pain, or upset; vomiting. Sometimes there are allergies. Monitor Osyrus, and should he show any signs of illness, take him to a veterinarian for an exam.
