My 7 month old 11 pound puppy got into nail glue. There is a small puncture in the bottle I'm not sure he got any in his system. I brought him to his water right away and he drank a lot. he seems fine now. What should I look for if the glue has caused a problem?

Nail glue could cause irritation to the oral cavity or nausea and vomiting, but if only a small amount was ingested I doubt you'll see any signs. If Hiraku seems to be licking frequently, drooling, vomits or has a decrease in appetite I'd recommend seeing a vet.
