If it was just one puff, he should be fine. If it was a rescue inhaler (albuterol) he may be a little jittery and or have a high heart rate for a short bit, but he should be fine. If it was a steroid inhaler, 1 puff is not going to hurt him. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
