Question

I wasn't aware but my niece was eating cookie and cream ice cream and she left it on the coach I notice chewy walk out of the front room if he did eat the ice cream will it harm and if so what are the signs I should look for it wasn't a big bowl so I said it was about 2 in half spoon of ice cream in the bowl. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 20 lbs

I think Chewy had himself a snack! No it should not cause any harm. If he has a really sensitive gut, it might make some diarrhea for a day. But I doubt even that is going to happen. Since ice cream has a lot of sugar, some of his gut bacteria might have a field day with gas production......sooooo that may be a temporary side effect.
