Monitor your dog closely for any symptoms:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
Call your veterinarian immediately if you notice any of these symptoms.
If your dog is not showing any symptoms:
- Induce vomiting if possible: Give your dog 1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide per 10 pounds of body weight. Repeat every 15 minutes until your dog vomits.
- Give your dog activated charcoal: This will help absorb any toxins in the croquette. You can purchase activated charcoal at most pharmacies. Give your dog 1 gram per 10 pounds of body weight.
- Feed your dog a bland diet: This will help soothe your dog’s stomach. Good options include boiled chicken and rice, cottage cheese, or yogurt.
- Keep your dog hydrated: Offer your dog plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
What to avoid:
- Do not give your dog milk: Milk can worsen diarrhea.
- Do not give your dog pain medication: This can mask symptoms and make it difficult to diagnose the problem.
- Do not wait to see if your dog gets sick: Call your veterinarian immediately if you suspect that your dog has eaten a croquette.
