My dog ate sunflower seed shells and vomited. Should I go to the vet?

Question

My dog ate sunflower seeds shells. I’m not sure how many she ate. She was vomiting and the vomit looked very foamy. I tried to get her to drink water but she wouldn’t do I gave milk but diluted it with water. She hasn’t been vomiting since but I’m not sure if I should take her to the vet?

Hi, and thanks for your question. As a firstg approach, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
