My puppy ate cortisone cream. Is it toxic? What symptoms to watch for?

Question

My puppy got alone of the cortisone cream tube and tore a hole in the tube exposing some of the cream. I’m sure she digested some of it (not much). Is there anything I should do or be aware of? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | spayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 15 lbs

Overall it’s not toxic but it can cause some minor gastrointestinal upset depending on how much she actually ingested. This means she could have some mild vomiting and/or diarrhea. If you notice any of that then she should be examined by your vet.
