My dog Bailey just ate a whole bottle of Proviable Forte! I left the pantry open, and she grabbed it off the counter. Should I be freaking out? Do I need to call a vet? Is this dangerous? I'm so worried!

Hello! First of all, take a deep breath. Bailey will probably be okay, but let's walk through this together. Proviable Forte is a probiotic, which is generally safe, and overdosing on it is less likely to cause major issues compared to medications like chocolate or medications.

While probiotics like Proviable Forte are typically safe, eating a whole bottle might cause some minor issues. Here's what you should look out for:

  • Mild GI Upset: Diarrhea or slight vomiting might occur. This usually isn't severe but keep an eye out for significant changes.
  • Bloating or Gas: Eating a lot at once can sometimes cause bloating or increased gas.

If Bailey is acting normally, you can monitor her at home for now:

  • Ensure she has access to plenty of fresh water to stay hydrated, especially if she experiences any diarrhea.
  • Watch her for any signs of discomfort or continued vomiting, and make sure she’s able to rest quietly.

Call your vet right away if:

  • The diarrhea or vomiting is severe or contains blood.
  • She's showing signs of distress or pain, like frequent panting, restlessness, or whining.
  • The symptoms persist beyond 24 hours or worsen.

It's always better to be safe with these things. You're a great pet parent for being proactive! If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
