My dog ​​ate an “Stollen”. What should I do?

Assess the situation:

  • Monitor your dog for any symptoms: Vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, increased thirst, etc.
  • Determine the size and type of Stollen ingested: Larger amounts or raisins can be more concerning.

Contact your veterinarian immediately if:

  • Your dog exhibits any of the above symptoms.
  • The Stollen contained raisins or sultanas (dried grapes), which are toxic to dogs.
  • The amount consumed was significant.

If your veterinarian is unavailable:

1. Induce vomiting (if possible):

  • Give your dog 1-2 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide orally every 15 minutes, up to three doses.
  • If vomiting does not occur within 15 minutes, discontinue this step.

2. Monitor your dog closely:

  • Keep your dog hydrated by offering plenty of water.
  • Observe for any unusual behavior or symptoms.

3. Contact your veterinarian or emergency animal hospital:

  • Inform them of the situation and your dog’s condition.
  • They may advise you on further steps or schedule an appointment for examination and treatment.

Additional notes:

  • Stollen typically contains yeast: Dogs may experience gastrointestinal upset or fermentation if they eat a large amount.
  • Macadamia nuts, if present: Macadamia nuts are also toxic to dogs.
  • Seek professional advice: It is always best to consult with your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
