My dog ate borax slime. Will a 60lb dog be okay after a tablespoon?

Question

My dog just ate homemade slime that contains borax will she be ok? It was about as much as a tablespoon full of slime she's around 60 pounds. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 60 lbs

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Borax has a wide margin of safety unless a large amount is ingested, and with the amount that Roxie ate and the fact that she is 60 pounds in weight, she should not suffer any ill effects from it. At most, you may see some stomach upset. If you do, withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add beck in her normal diet.
