If this happened within the past 90 minutes please take Kiwi to your veterinarian so he can make your dog regurgitate the nuts with a medication called Apomorphine One pecan will not hurt your dog, but a larger amount may cause gastric intestinal upset or an obstruction. Moldy pecans can contain tremorgenic mycotoxins which can cause seizures or neurological symptoms. Therefore dogs should not eat pecans.
