Assess the Situation:
- Determine the type of tostada (ingredients, fillings).
- Observe your dog for any immediate symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy).
If Your Dog is Showing Symptoms:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately.
- Do not induce vomiting or administer any medications without veterinary guidance.
If Your Dog is Asymptomatic:
- Monitor your dog closely for the next 24-48 hours.
- Watch for any changes in behavior, appetite, or bowel movements.
- If your dog develops any symptoms, seek veterinary attention promptly.
Potential Concerns:
- Onion: Onions can be toxic to dogs and cause anemia.
- Avocado: Avocados contain persin, which can be toxic to dogs.
- Garlic: Garlic can cause stomach upset and damage red blood cells in dogs.
- Tortilla: Some tortillas contain corn or wheat, which can be hard for dogs to digest.
- Fillings: Fillings such as cheese, sour cream, or salsa can add extra fat and salt, which can be problematic for some dogs.
Preventive Measures:
- Keep tostadas and other human foods out of reach of your dog.
- If you share a tostada with your dog, remove any potentially harmful ingredients and give them a small portion.
- Supervise your dog when they are eating or around food.
Additional Tips:
- If your dog has eaten a tostada with onion, feed them a bland diet (e.g., boiled chicken and rice) to help protect the stomach lining.
- If your dog has eaten a tostada with avocado, monitor them closely and seek veterinary attention if they develop any symptoms.
- If your dog has eaten a tostada containing garlic, do not induce vomiting as it can irritate the esophagus. Instead, give them water and monitor them closely.
