1. Assess the Situation

  • Monitor your dog for any symptoms, such as:
    • Vomiting
    • Diarrhea
    • Abdominal pain
    • Gas
    • Bloating

2. Induce Vomiting (Optional)

  • If the ingestion was recent (within the past 2 hours), you can induce vomiting if your dog is weighing more than 10-15 pounds.
  • Do not induce vomiting without veterinary advice if your dog:
    • Has consumed a large amount of cabbage
    • Is lethargic or weak
    • Has underlying health issues

3. Give Activated Charcoal (Optional)

  • Activated charcoal can absorb toxins. If it is available, give your dog 1 gram per 5 pounds of body weight. Mix the charcoal with water and syringe it into your dog's mouth.

4. Monitor Your Dog

  • Keep your dog hydrated by offering small amounts of water frequently.
  • Feed your dog a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, for the next few days.
  • Restrict your dog's activity to prevent further gas and bloating.

5. Contact Your Veterinarian

  • Seek veterinary attention immediately if your dog:
    • Is vomiting or having diarrhea
    • Has abdominal pain or bloating
    • Is lethargic or weak
  • The veterinarian may perform further tests, such as bloodwork or X-rays, to determine the severity of the ingestion. They may also prescribe medication to treat any symptoms.

Additional Tips

  • Cabbage can be toxic to dogs in large amounts.
  • Gas and bloating are common side effects of cabbage ingestion in dogs.
  • Avoid giving your dog raw cabbage, as it is more difficult to digest.
  • If your dog has a history of gastrointestinal issues, avoid giving them cabbage or other cruciferous vegetables.
