Dogs are always getting into stuff, aren’t they? I would monitor your dog for the next 24 to 48 hours for any symptoms of illness. If your dog continues to eat, drink, defecate, and urinate normally with no signs of lethargy or vomiting, he should be all right. During these next two days, you do not need to change anything regarding his lifestyle or diet. I also urge you not to give him any over-the-counter medications for upset stomach that will mask the symptoms. But if he starts to vomit or have diarrhea within the next two days, you need to take him to the veterinarian to have a full physical examination performed. Thanks a lot for your question. I hope I have helped.
