I have already answered that your dog will be probably be just fine. Lemons are not fatal to dogs, they just may cause some GI upset. I dog that is 110 pounds that licked the inside of a hollowed lemon did not ingest enough for it cause a problem. If you would like to post again I will be happy to just let another expert answer if you want a another opinion.
