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.
