My dog ate a vitamin pill. Should I be worried if he seems fine?

He should be okay. Monitor him for vomiting, not eating or drinking, diarrhea, or abnormal behavior. You can feed him a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice just to be safe. If he is acting off take him to the veterinarian.

If it is a ''gummy'' tablet it may cause gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting or diarrhea. The toxicity from the single components (Vitamins, mineral etc etc) depends on their concentration. Generally speaking it should be a major concern as the concentration is quite low. If there is xylitol inside the tablet that may be dangerous, and in case of ingestion, your dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian. The ingestion of xylitol or xylitol-containing products causes a rapid release of the hormone insulin, causing a sudden decrease in the dog's blood glucose. Signs to look for are: lethargy, vomiting, loss of coordination, collapse, and eventually seizures.

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.

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.

Hello, I do not believe you need to worry. Vitamin B is water soluble and therefore, in theory, any excess should be urinated out. I would recommend monitoring her for the day. If she experiences any drastic changes in behavior or appetite, she should be seen by a veterinarian. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I would recommend making the dog vomit. You can try hydrogen peroxide at home or take him to a vet for them to induce vomiting. Usually dogs will vomit if they ingested the pills in the last hour or two. Fultium is a vit D supplement. My concerns is that it might decrease the Calcium released by the body and interfere with the hyperparathyroid gland. If you cannot get her to vomit I would recommend taking her to a vet. It is very important to monitor her for eating,drinking, defecating and seizure activity. IF at any time she is acting abnormal or not herself I would highly recommend taking her to a vet.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Depending on the mg of the B12 pill, this may be fine. The cranberry vitamin shouldn't cause any problems. Because I don't know the mgs of the B12 pill, I can't give an exact answer. Give the Pet Poison Hotline a call at 855-764-7661. You can tell the mg of the pill, and they can advise you further. Best of luck.
