My small puppy ate hydrocortisone cream. Will she be okay?

Question

My puppy chewed on a hydrocortisone 1% cream. The tube seems pretty full but she only weighs like 5lbs should I be very worried ??

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

No, I would not be concerned. This is a weak steroid medication, and you might see some increased urination and thirst from it, but that may not occur if the tube still feels pretty full. There also may be a possibility of stomach upset, but if she did not ingest a lot, it's not likely. She should be ok.
