My dog ate food from a bowl with acetone. Should I be worried?

Oh no, that's not good! Gently rinse her mouth with cool water, and wash around her face with warm water and dawn dish soap. Avoid getting that in her eyes. Acetone can cause mouth irritation, so if you see excessive drooling or mouth pain (one sign of mouth pain is a decrease in appetite), take Daisy into a vet. Acetone can also cause irritation to the lungs if inhaled, and GI upset if any of the solution was swallowed. Monitor her for vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, trouble breathing, or lethargy. If you see any of those signs, take her into a vet right away. I hope this helps!

It may be a coincidence that your dog started vomiting just now when you used acetone. There is a possibility that it may cause gastro-intestinal problems, especially if you did not ventilate the room (you should always ventilate when using acetone as it evaporates quickly and can be detrimental). Acetone exposure in dogs causes significant acetone levels in their blood, however the halflife is only around 4 hours, so by now he should not have any more acetone residue in his body. There could be other causes for the incessant vomiting, such as a parvo virus infection, ingestion of a foreign body, an intestinal blockage, eating something that did not agree with him, intestinal parasites, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc.  I strongly recommend that you take Butters to your vet today for an exam, medication to stop the vomiting and hopefully a diagnosis which then facilitates treatment.

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.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Jett. Yes, I would expect that if he had swallowed this bottle of nail polish, you would have seen some signs by now such as lethargy and a loss of appetite. Given that he's normal, I would not worry. I hope this helps!

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.

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/

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.
