Even if a small amount is eaten, symptoms of poisoning may occur. Therefore, it is important to visit a veterinarian as soon as possible and receive a veterinarian's diagnosis.
- Contact the veterinary hospital
Before visiting the veterinary clinic, contact the veterinary clinic and explain what, when, and how much your dog ate. This information is important for your veterinarian to provide appropriate treatment.
Also, if you bring the food you ate with you, it will be helpful for your treatment.
