Immediate Actions:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately: Inform them of the situation and seek guidance.
- Monitor your dog closely: Watch for any signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or lethargy.
- Induce vomiting (optional): If your veterinarian recommends it, you may induce vomiting by administering hydrogen peroxide (1 teaspoon per 20 pounds of body weight) orally. Do not induce vomiting if your dog is already vomiting or if it has been more than 2 hours since ingestion.

- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Lethargy
