My dog ate EnteDerm. Is it safe? What to do if vets are closed?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed

My dog chewed up a 15ml tube of EnteDerm and injested it. Since it’s the weekend none of the Vet clinics are open today. Please advise, I am very concerned.

At worst, you may see some GI upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea). If this happened recently, you can rinse her mouth with cool water for at least 15 minutes then dry her thoroughly. If she vomits once or twice yet is behaving normally, you can try withholding food for 24 hours then feeding a bland diet for a few days. Transition slowly to her regular diet afterwards.
In the meantime, monitor for lethargy, persistent vomiting/diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that would need to be addressed by a veterinarian at the nearest veterinary ER.
