My dog inhaled bug spray and had a sneezing fit. What should I do?

Hello my dog breathed in some of my off bug spray and started having a sneezing fit. He's calm down since then and I've bathed him and checked up on him several times. He seems calm but I'm still worried.

That is definitely concerning. The first thing to do is call the manufacturer of the spray. They will know any potential for toxicity. Make sure he stays in the fresh air. Giving him an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for pets will help to decrease inflammation. If Cole begins to get worse, have him examined by the veterinarian. Best of luck.
