Dog ate cashews, now lethargic, not eating, and yelping in pain.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Pinscher | Male | neutered | 2 years and 9 months old | 12 lbs

My husband gave Papi cashews, yesterday (oops!!!l). Since then he has been lethargic, he won't eat anything, and he periodically whines and yelps in pain. Please help; I don't know what to do.

Your dog may be suffering from gastritis or pancreatitis. If Papi continues to refus food or starts vomiting and/or having diarrhea, you will need to take him to the vet as soon as possible.

I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
