My dog ate 1/4 of an omega 3 pill. Will he be okay after this?

If it has been less than 2 hours since your pet ingested the foreign material, you can induce vomiting by giving an oral dose of hydrogen peroxide, about 1 cc per pound. One tablespoon is about 5 cc. A turkey baster will work if you don't have a syringe. Longer than two hours and it will have already moved into the intestines. Generally, even without the induction of vomiting, your dog is likely to have diarrhea and other intestinal upset from eating so much fish oil at once. Be aware that one of the effects of fish oil in the body is to act as a blood thinner. I have seen dogs ingest much more than your dog did and do fine, but if your dog becomes lethargic, loses her appetite, starts vomiting, please get her seen by your vet right away.

I am sorry to hear about Benson! I would recommend called the Pet Poison Helpline at (855) 764-7661 https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ to discuss Benson's ingestion. They have resources available to them to determine if your dog has ingested an amount of the accutane that could cause toxicity and require emergency treatment. The omega 3 pills will likely cause GI upset/diarrhea that may need symptomatic treatment, but the accutane could potentially cause a toxicity and may require emergency treatment. They will calculate the toxic dose for the dog and determine the treatment that should be given (if any is needed).

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Jakari. I think he may be ok from this overdose. I would have expected by now you would have seen issues such as vomiting if that was going to happen. You don't need to do anything, he sounds like he is fine. I hope this helps!

I would not recommend this strength for a chihuhua and recommend either a smaller strength capsule such as viacutan or a liquid supplement which you can measure more accurately. Excess of any supplementation is undesirable and he would be effectively receiving 3-4 times the recommended amount

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.

Hi there! As long as Buddy only ate one tablet, this dose would not be expected to cause any problems. The toxic dose of vitamin D3 in dogs is 100 mcg/kg or above. 5000 IU = 125 mcg, and Buddy weighs about 9 kg, which means he got a total dose of about 14 mcg/kg. This is well below the reported toxic dose, so it's very unlikely that this will be an issue :)

This is not a toxic dose for a 15 pound dog. That being said, it could still upset his stomach. He could show signs anytime in the next 48 hours. If he starts to seem sick you should take him to your vet ASAP. I suggest you feed him 1/2 a piece of bread that will help coat the tablet and pull it through his GI tract. No other food for 6 hours. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
