I am sorry to hear about your concern for your dog! A small amount of walnut is not anything we would worry about in terms of toxicity. If your dog has a very sensitive stomach, then he may have some mild gastrointestinal upset such as diarrhea, but most dogs this will not cause any issues. Best of luck!
