Monitor Your Dog’s Condition:
- Observe your dog for any signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or excessive panting.
Contact Your Veterinarian:
- Call your veterinarian immediately, regardless of the size of the Oreo consumed. Theobromine, a compound in chocolate that is toxic to dogs, may cause health problems.
Do Not Induce Vomiting:
- Do not try to make your dog vomit unless instructed by a veterinarian. Inducing vomiting can be dangerous if there are any potentially sharp objects in the Oreo.
Provide Fresh Water:
- Give your dog plenty of fresh water to help dilute the theobromine in its system.
Symptoms to Watch For:
- Seizures
- Tremors
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Rapid heart rate
- Lethargy
Treatment:
- If necessary, your veterinarian may administer activated charcoal to absorb the theobromine.
- Intravenous fluids may be given to help flush the theobromine from the system.
- Sedatives may be used to control seizures and tremors.
Prognosis:
- The prognosis for dogs who ingest Oreos depends on the amount consumed and the size of the dog.
- Small amounts of Oreo are unlikely to cause serious health problems, but larger amounts can be life-threatening.
