Puppy ate vitamin C tablet: Will she be okay or get an upset stomach?

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.

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.

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.

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.

It would help to know what specific kind of tablets they were, how much calcium each one contains and how many she ate, as well as how much your dog weighs to give a more specific answer. But in general, I can tell you that a one-time overdose of calcium tablets like Tums or calcium-containing vitamins is usually not a major problem - calcium in this form is poorly absorbed from the GI tract, so most dogs have to eat a truly massive amount of cause any toxicity issues. You may see some mild GI upset, but other problems are probably unlikely. But if you have any concerns, the safest bet is always to have your dog seen by a vet - if she ate them within the past couple of hours, the vet can induce vomiting to help make sure there won't be any problems.

Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I would not be too worried about this. The most that would happen would be that Nudge would get an upset stomach. An upset stomach can lead to diarrhea and vomiting which are usually self-limiting (meaning they will resolve on their own within 12-36 hours). If she begins showing any signs of an upset stomach that don't resolve in that time period then you should take her to your vet for treatment. Capsicum (cayenne) is not toxic to dogs. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

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.
