Should I worry if I touched my puppy after using hand sanitizer?

Wash the area thoroughly to remove any residue, but there shouldn't be any problem unless he ingests a sizeable amount. The alcohol will disinfect and the aloe can help soothe it. I don't recommend using it in the future, mild soap and water is fine for cleaning minor wounds, just make sure to thoroughly remove all traces of soap so it doesn't irritate the skin..

The possible toxicity would depend on the content and the quantity of the sanitizer ingested. Please give us more specific indications about it to receive a detailed answer. Generally speaking, hand sanitizers, which are typically unpalatable to pets, often contains ethanol (e.g., alcohol). Like other types of alcohol, a large ingestion of hand sanitizer can cause lethargy, vomiting, incoordination, weak respirations, and dangerous drops in blood sugar, blood pressure and body temperature. Severely intoxicated animals can potentially experience seizures and respiratory failure.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Beeloo. If a cat consumed a significant amount of hand sanitizer, it would be toxic. The high alcohol content will result in drunken behavior, sleepiness and likely vomiting. However, this would not likely be seen from sniffing your hands or you petting him after applying it to your hands. I suspect that there is another illness causing the symptoms. I hope this information helps!

Hello. No, I would not be concerned about such a tiny amount of cleaner that Aero might have ingested. This would just never bother a dog even as small as your little one. Do not worry. He will be fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

This may cause some GI upset which may result in vomiting and/or diarrhea. If it is limited to a couple of bouts and she's back to normal in 12 hours or so, you don't need to worry. Just keep an eye on her for the next 12-24 hours, and if she develops vomiting or diarrhea that is severe or continuous, or if she becomes increasingly lethargic, seek emergency care.

A little bit of beer on his paws shouldn't cause a problem especially as you cleaned them. But you're right to be concerned as alcohol poisoning can occur in pets. But as big as he is a slight exposure shouldn't be an issue.

This will likely pass on its own. I do not think you have to worry. Just in case it does not pass per vias naturalis, and causes an obstruction (unlikely), watch for diarrhea and retching and lethargy. If that occurs Scout needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away. But as I said, it is unlikely. The little bit of alcohol on the pad might make him tired. And the pad, being paper tissue, should somewhat dissolve and pass.
