My dog ate a book of matches. Is it dangerous? What should I do?

Small amounts will likely cause just gastrointestinal upset (vomiting and diarrhea). Daisy would need to ingest a large quantity for serious toxicity to develop. Monitor for GI upset, drooling, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. Feed a bland diet if necessary. See your vet if her symptoms do not resolve.

Ghontu may experience some gastrointestinal signs (vomiting and diarrhoea), but it is unlikely to have any other significant sign. I would recommend to have him checked again if you notice anything abnormal and to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days.

These herbs are not considered toxic to dogs. Monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. If he chewed them up, they will likely pass uneventfully in the next 24 hours. See your veterinarian if any of these symptoms develop.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The ink or color in these markers now is usually non toxic. The main concern is the possibility of an intestinal obstruction. If she swallowed the marker whole then the main concern would a possible obstruction that may require therapy via endoscopy or most likely surgery. If this is the case, I recommend that you have her evaluated by your local emergency clinic tonight for further assessment and possible treatment. It is possible that this could pass but seems less likely given its size even if she is a larger dog. Best of luck!

With him being a large breed dog he will likely be fine and pass it but I would monitor him closely for not eating, vomiting or diarrhea. If you notice any of these signs then I would see your vet for an exam and possible abdominal X-rays. You can also add some canned food to his diet to help bulk up how stool to help him pass it. I hope this helps!

If he chewed it into small enough bits, it may pass on its own. If he swallowed big chunks, there is a risk of obstruction. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. Seek veterinary attention if Cody develops any of these symptoms.

Monitor her for the next 24 hours. Watch for lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite, straining to defecate or abdominal pain. If she goes beyond this with no symptoms, then she may be in the clear. If she develops any of the above symptoms, have her physically examined by your veterinarian. Pancreatitis or intestinal obstruction are real concerns after such a "meal".
