My dog licked rubbing alcohol. Is it toxic? What are the symptoms?

Question

I accidentally spilled rubbing alcohol on the floor and my dog licked some of it. Probably a teaspoon or less. How much rubbing alcohol is toxic to dogs? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Symptoms can be seen after ingestion of less than 1.3 ml of rubbing alcohol per pound of body weight. If he ingested a toxic amount, signs may include vomiting with or without blood, retching, abdominal pain, central nervous system (CNS) depression, decreased respiratory rate, and coma. He may appear drunk and the breath often has an alcohol odor. If you see any of these signs or are concerned about Rocket, he should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible for treatment. I hope this is helpful!
