My puppy ate castor oil. He has diarrhea but seems fine. What to do?

Question

My 4-month-old puppy consumed most of a bottle of castor oil capsules. He pooped a couple of times and some were diarrhea. He has not vomited, is drinking water and seems to be acting normal otherwise. It has been over an hour since he has last pooped. Should I be concerned or is there anything I can do?

I would only be concerned if Adonis continues to have large volumes of diarrhea. You could try feeding him a bland diet for the next 2-3 days as long as he doesn't have any food sensitivities or dietary restrictions if his stool stays soft. To make a bland diet at home you can mix 25% plain, boiled boneless skinless chicken breast with 75% cooked plain white rice. If Adonis has profuse watery diarrhea, if you see blood in his stool or his diarrhea has not resolved in 3 days you should see your vet.
