My dog chewed berberine supplement but is acting normal. Should I worry?

If it is a ''gummy'' tablet it may cause gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting or diarrhea. The toxicity from the single components (Vitamins, mineral etc etc) depends on their concentration. Generally speaking it should be a major concern as the concentration is quite low. If there is xylitol inside the tablet that may be dangerous, and in case of ingestion, your dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian. The ingestion of xylitol or xylitol-containing products causes a rapid release of the hormone insulin, causing a sudden decrease in the dog's blood glucose. Signs to look for are: lethargy, vomiting, loss of coordination, collapse, and eventually seizures.

Since she only ate 1 pill, I would not be worried about toxicity. The doses in the vitamins for each of the components should not be harmful. You may see some GI signs such as poor appetite, vomiting or diarrhea, but should resolve. If symptoms continue, I would recommend taking her to your veterinarian.

The concern I would have about this is if Tucker did eat any of the pills. Buspirone is an anti-anxiety drug, and while it can be used in dogs, depending on how many he may have eaten, he could suffer an overdose of it. You may see vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, or disorientation. It would be best to have Tucker seen by a vet now who can decide an appropriate course of treatment for him to prevent any chance of overdose.

Hello, and thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. There is limited data on turmeric doses in dogs, but it is generally pretty well tolerated. Some dogs are more sensitive to it than others, and can get mild GI upset. However, most likely your dog will be just fine. Let your vet know if you see any vomiting, diarrhea, or decreased appetite. Hope this helps!

Hello. That should be ok for Archie. I would recommend monitoring closely for signs of vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, weakness, or inappetance. If these occur get Archie to the vet but if he is acting normally then just monitor. Good luck with him!

Hello, I do not believe you need to worry. Vitamin B is water soluble and therefore, in theory, any excess should be urinated out. I would recommend monitoring her for the day. If she experiences any drastic changes in behavior or appetite, she should be seen by a veterinarian. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

The b vitamins alone would not be expected to cause any significant complications but the picture is not clear enough to read all of the ingredients to fully assess. Given it has been over 4 hours since eaten it has already travelled through the bowel, and is too late for activated charcoal or vomiting to help prevent absorption. If possible try to post a clearer image or link to the brand so we can assess further
