I suspect Harold will be fine. He may get some diarrhea or softened stool. Sometimes these human stool softeners can work too well. If he gets severe diarrhea, decreases drinking or seems uncomfortable, take him to the veterinarian immediately. Feeding him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and boiled plain white rice may help to counter act any GI upset that may occur. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction. Please feel free to post any further questions!
