My dog chewed cotton with acetone nail polish remover. Is she okay?

Nail polish remover is acetone based, but it does take a fair amount for it to cause any problems. I'm not sure how much Luna drank, but I would give her some milk to dilute the acetone. Symptoms of drinking nail polish remover can range from GI symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, to severe symptoms involving the central nervous system or inhalation leading to pleuritis or aspiration pneumonia. Monitor Luna for any abnormal signs and symptoms, and if you see anything concerning, take her into a vet immediately.

Your dog may get diarrhea or vomiting or both. nail polish remover is acetone, which is is a ketone, which is toxic to dogs. If the cotton ball was exposed to air for a little while a lot of the acetone in the nail polish remover probably evaporated. If your dog appears ill or vomits more than once or gets profuse diarrhea, you should take him to a vet or pet ER for an exam.

Typically this isn't of any serious toxicity concerns. She may have some stomach upset, in which case you can offer her a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese, to see if that helps to settle her stomach. The cotton balls pose a small risk of obstruction, but unlikely. Princess will likely be just fine. Best wishes and take care.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. In terms of the acetone, that evapourates within about 1 minute so this would not have caused any problems to your dog. Just monitor and any weird signs bring Lucy to the vet, as she might have eaten some food that upset her stomach, but in terms of the acetone that is fine. Best of luck with Lucy!

Hello, sorry to hear about Diasy. Its likely that the Acetone may cause her some esophageal and stomach irritation and inflammation. However the aluminum foil would be unlikely to be digested and may cause an obstruction in her GI tract. If she has just recently ingested this, then it may be best to induce vomiting in an attempt to remove the foil. If unsuccessful, then your options may include waiting to see if she passes it knowing that if she doesn't then she may need surgery to remove it, doing an endoscopy to remove the foil, or going to surgery to remove the foil. You should have Daisy seen by a veterinarian to day to atleast obtain an x-ray and confirm the amount and presence of aluminum foil. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Oh Trixie is a cutie! So the main concern with most artificial nail glues really is just if they get enough in their eyes or on their lips to glue them closed. Since it doesn't sound like this occurred trixie will likely be ok. But there are many different types of nail adhesive so you can always call aspca poison control to read them the exact ingredients in the type trixie chewed on. They will be able to then give you specific advice. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control

I would make sure he isn't breathing funny, coughing or sneezing. This could cause some irritation of the respiratory tract if inhaled. It could cause an upset stomach if ingested. Hopefully, he only got a very small amount and it won't cause any issues. I will attach the pet poison hotline below in case you start noticing any abnormal behaviors. I hope this helps! http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/
