Dazey will be fine! If she did not eat a lot, this shouldn't cause any problems. The issue would be if she ate a lot, then that could cause pancreatitis. I'd just watch her to be safe. If you see vomiting, abdominal pain, a hunched up appearance, lethargy, or a loss of appetite, take her into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!

Dog ate peanut m&ms will she die?
It depends on the size of the dog and the amount she ate, but chances are good that, unless she ate several pounds of M&Ms, she will likely only end up with a sore belly and possibly diarrhea. If she ate them less than 1 hour ago, you can induce vomiting by giving an oral dose of hydrogen peroxide, about 1 cc per pound. One tablespoon is about 5 cc. A turkey baster will work if you don't have a syringe. Longer than an hour and it will have already moved into the intestines. Ideally, your pet should be seen by your veterinarian to ensure that she will be okay. Your vet will do an exam and possibly bloodwork to determine if any further treatment is needed.

My 21 lb dog ate approximately 4oz of peanut butter (no xylitol) somewhere between 2 and 7 hours ago. He has drank a lot of water since and vomited a small amount once. I took him for a mile walk before I noticed he had gotten into it and he seemed
As long as Scooby doesn’t have any medical conditions like pancreatitis I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Peanut butter without xylitol is not toxic, and although the one episode of vomiting may be related or you may see diarrhea it should be self limiting. If Scooby continues to vomit however you should see your vet.

my puppy ate a whole tin of nutella? will he be okay? what are some symptoms i should look out for?
The problem with this ingestion is the fat content, which can cause pancreatitis. Watch for vomiting, abdominal pain, a hunched up appearance, lethargy, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. If you see any of these signs, take Pluto into a vet immediately.

My beagle is fairly old and has had pancreatitis in the past due to consumption of too much fat (usually in the form of peanut butter). He just ate a whole peanut butter sandwich and I'm worried that he'll suffer another bout of pancreatitis and won'
Oh no. That was not very wise of him to eat all that peanut butter. Unfortunately whats done is done. The best thing you can do now is to feed him a very low fat diet for the next 7 days. I would recommend the Hill's Science diet I/D low fat. Boiled plain chicken and rice can be given tonight if you can't make it to your vet right away, but after that go with the prescription food only, then slowly transition him back to his normal diet. You will need a prescription from your vet to purchase the food at your local pet store. Best of luck with your Beagle and I sure hope he doesn't have another episode of pancreatitis. Best wishes and take care.

You IMy 33 pound Brittany broke out of his room while I was gone an ate about 15 no bake peanut butter cookies. They where oatmeal, peanut butter, vanilla, butter, sugar an milk what should I do
Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Jax. Oh those cookies sound yum! The good news is there are no ingredients that are toxic, so you don't have to do anything for him. At most, you may see some stomach upset in the form of diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, and loss of appetite. If you do see those signs, then have him seen by a vet. I hope this helps!

My dog is a male mittelspitz, 17 lb, healthy, 8 years old. He ate about a tablespoon of butter about 15 minutes ago (it's 11:40 PM EST) and I'm worried for his health, should I be concerned about pancreatitis?
It is possible that butter could cause pancreatitis, but that small amount is unlikely to cause a problem. However,’if she has a history of pancreas problems then I would be more concerned. If this is the case then she should be seen by your veterinarian immediately to discuss inducing vomiting. However, with a low risk ingestion I usually don’t induce vomiting as aspiration can be a risk of vomiting and may pose more risk than the butter. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Hi my 16 week old newfoundland pup and my 7 year old Shetland collie ate almost 250g tub of butter between them will it do them any harm
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This may result in gastrointestinal upset or pancreatitis though they may be just fine without any clinical symptoms. I highly recommend that you continue to monitor them closely for any signs consistent with gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, inappetence and/or diarrhea and have them evaluated by a veterinarian if these are observed. Good luck and have a great day!

My 11 lb dog might have eaten 1 reeses peanut butter cup. Should I be worried? Her belly is broken out, but it has rashed like this before. I caught her licking a piece of the brown reeses cup wrapper.
Thank you for submitting your question regarding Luna. One Reeces cup likely does not contain enough chocolate to cause toxicity based on her size. It can, however, cause gastrointestinal upset or even a more serious condition known as pancreatitis. If she develops vomiting or diarrhea, then she should see her veterinarian. If she is allergic to any of the ingredients, inflamed skin could result. That being said, her skin changes could be the result of something else especially if it has happened before. You can bathe her with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula to soothe the skin. If this does not help, then she should see her veterinarian. I hope this information helps!

My 50 lb foxhound ate half a pound of butter. I assume she is going to have horrible diarrhea but are there other things to worry about/watch for?
Yes unfortunately she is a top candidate for pancreatitis. If she ate the butter within the past two hours, it may be possible to make her vomit and get rid of a lot of the butter that way. If it has been longer than that you just need to watch her for lethargy., abdominal pain (looking for a cold place to "sphinx" on , ie cooling her belly), vomiting, general malaise. Do not feed her for 12 hrs. Then start feeding her bland food such as boiled white rice and white boneless chicken. If she appears lethargic, ill, vomiting, in pain, she needs to be seen by a veterinarian.

My dog ate about 8 wrapped soft caramels and 1/2 cup of honey roasted peanuts, she is 95lbs and on a raw diet, will she be okay?
She should be fine, the only real issue are the wrappers but she is a big girl so i would not expect it to cause a blockage, she might suffer from some diarrhea or vomiting, but i wouldn't expect anything too serious.
