My dog ate a leech. Is it toxic or dangerous? Will she be okay?

Slugs are not toxic dogs, so there is not much to worry about with him licking the guts. It may not be the cleanest source of food, but dogs are quite resilient to eating dead and rotting things, so there is little chance of this causing a digestive upset. There are also some cases where slugs can have certain worms that can be transmitted to dogs, but this is not common and unlikely to be transmitted this way. Overall, I would not worry and would only mention this to your vet if she happens to have any signs of illness in the next week or two. I hope that helps and all is well with Rogue.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. Leeches can be used medically to help remove blood clots and reestablish circulation to areas of the body. If used properly by a veterinarian, they should not be able to enter into a dog's ear. I suppose it is possible for a leech in the environment to enter a dog's ear canal, however you should be able to see into the canal well enough to find one there. I hope this is helpful!

Hello. There is nothing toxic or dangerous about lemon wedges, although for the life of me, I can not imagine a dog wanting to eat a lemon wedge! Dogs are amazing & never stop surprising me. Baker will be fine. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Snails are generally non toxic to dogs, but the problems come with with the parasites they carry, and if they have been poisoned with snail poisoning. Snails carry lungworms, which will be passed to dogs when the snail is eaten by the dog. Not all snails carry lungworms, so you can monitor Daisy for signs of coughing and difficulty breathing. If she develops those problems, you should take her into your vet. The snail's shell could also potentially cause GI obstruction or GI upset, but it's not too likely. Monitor her for vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, or extremely lethargy, and if you see any of those signs, take her into your vet. Finally, as I mentioned, there can be problems if the snail was poisoned with snail poisoning. Signs of toxicity from snail poisoning include tremors and twitching, which are exacerbated by noise. If you see any of those signs, you need to take Daisy into your vet right away. If she is actually normally, eating and drinking normally, and having normal bathro

No this should not be toxic to the point of life-threatening illness if a little is swallowed. At most, you may see some stomach upset (vomiting, diarrhea) in which case a bland diet of boiled plain chicken OR lean ground turkey and rice can be given to help settle the stomach. Otherwise, Sooky should be fine moving forward. Take care : )

Most bugs will not harm a dog if eaten. In general, the more colorful a bug is, the more toxic it may be. Rinse his mouth thoroughly with cool water for at least 15 minutes. Monitor for lethargy, drooling, swelling or pawing at the mouth. See your veterinarian if any of these symptoms develop.

He should be fine. You may see some vomiting, diarrhea and/or lethargy. He would need to ingest 8 of the pills for there to be a risk of toxicity. If necessary, withhold food for 24 hours, allowing small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until any symptoms of GI upset resolve. Transition slowly to his regular diet afterwards. If symptoms persist or worsen, have him examined by your veterinarian.

Common geckos are non toxic. At worst, you may see some stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea). This can usually be managed at home with a short fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. If they don't, see your veterinarian. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Unless your dog ate a Mexican beaded lizard, you do not have to worry. If he indeed ate a Mexican Alligator Lizard (Abronia), it was a nice but harmless snack. Here is a photo of a Mexican Alligator Lizard: http://abronializard.com/abronia-lizard-care-sheet/ And here a photo of a Mexican Beaded Lizard (toxic): https://www.stlzoo.org/animals/abouttheanimals/reptiles/lizards/mexicanbeadedlizard Should he have eaten a Mexican Beaded Lizard, you need to take him to your veterinarian right away for an exam and treatment.

That was naughty of Daedra to eat that tree lichen! This lichen is likely fungus, and while most types of fungi are mildly or non toxic, there are some kinds that can cause severe symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, and abdominal pain. You could take her into a vet now to have vomiting induced with a shot to get the lichen out of her stomach and take away any risk of toxicity. You can also choose to monitor her over the next 24-48 hours, and if you see any of the symptoms I mentioned above, take her into a vet immediately for treatment. I hope this helps!
