My 9 week old puppy just drank some of my coffee and he is restless. He is a mixed chihuahua and terrier so he is tiny and I’m scared that he can have a heart attack or something. What should I do?

Hi and thanks for posting. Caffeine can be toxic to dogs, especially in small puppies. Concerning signs include restlessness, panting, pacing, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, or tremors. Since he is experiencing clinical signs, I would recommend Max be taken to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic or 24 hour veterinary facility right away so he can be appropriately treated.
