Is tea tree oil toxic to dogs? My dog is throwing up and has diarrhea.

Question

my dog licked 100% tea tree oil off of my face last night, since this morning he’s thrown up twice and had diarrhea. What should I so? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 years and 7 months old | 13 lbs

Poor guy. Tea tree oil is a pretty nasty irritant to the stomach when ingested. You can try giving him a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese for a few days, along with 1-2 tsp's of canned pumpkin (not the pie filling). I would also give him some non-flavored Pedialyte diluted with water to help prevent dehydration. If he is still having a hard time after another 24 hrs, then it is best to take him to your vet for stronger medication to help stop the nausea and treat his diarrhea with antibiotics. Best of luck with Milo and I hope he feels better soon! Take care.
