Monitor Your Dog’s Condition
- Observe your dog for any signs of distress or discomfort, such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, lethargy, or loss of appetite.
Contact Your Veterinarian
- Call your veterinarian immediately to inform them of the situation. They will provide guidance on whether your dog needs to be seen.
Induce Vomiting (if directed by your veterinarian)
- If instructed by your veterinarian, induce vomiting by giving your dog 1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide per 5 pounds of body weight. Do not induce vomiting if your dog has already vomited or is unconscious.
Provide Activated Charcoal (if directed by your veterinarian)
- Activated charcoal can help absorb toxins in the stomach. If your veterinarian recommends it, administer 1 gram of activated charcoal per pound of body weight. Mix it with water to form a slurry and give it to your dog orally.
Other Considerations
- Keep your dog hydrated: Offer plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
- Restrict food: Do not feed your dog for several hours after vomiting or diarrhea.
- Monitor for seizures: In rare cases, eating seafood can trigger seizures in some dogs. Observe your dog closely and contact your veterinarian if you notice any seizure-like activity.
- Follow your veterinarian’s instructions: Your veterinarian will provide specific recommendations based on your dog’s condition and the type of seafood consumed.
