Help! My puppy ate matchsticks from a matchbox. Is she okay?

She will most likely pass them in the next 24-48 hours. There is a concern for an obstruction if it was a full pack of matches as opposed to individual ones. Monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy or signs of abdominal pain. As long as she isn't showing signs of GI upset, feed her as you normally do. Seek veterinary attention if you see any of the listed symptoms.

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.

She will likely be unaffected, particularly if she chewed the wood into small pieces first. If she swallowed a large piece there would be potential for stomach upset or gastrointestinal obstruction. I would monitor her and call your vet if she vomits, develops diarrhea or has a decrease in appetite.

Fire starters can be toxic to dogs, depending on how much they ingested. If ingested by dogs, the compressed sawdust and wax within these logs can result in a foreign body obstruction in the stomach. Some types of these logs contain heavy metals also, and there is rare risk of heavy metal toxicity. If your dog chewed on it, and didn't eat any, I would monitor him for now. Watch for drooling, vomiting, loss of appetite, and a distended stomach. If you see any of those signs, take Storm into your vet right away.

Good question. Look for tremors, drooling, constricted pupils, diarrhea, seizures, and an increased heart rate. Typically symptoms of nicotine poisoning occur within one hour of ingestion, but I'd watch him tonight to be safe. If you see any of the signs I mentioned above, please take him into a vet immediately. I hope this helps!

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.

Menthol can cause GI upset, but without seeing Mikey in person, I can't say if he will be ok or not. I would take him into a vet immediately. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
