Dog ate entire tube of eye gel

Oh dear! It sounds like your pup got into a bit of mischief. Eating a whole tube of eye gel can be concerning, but let's break it down to figure out what to do next.



First, it's helpful to know what type of eye gel your dog ingested. Most eye gels are relatively safe and not highly toxic, but some contain ingredients that could upset your dog's stomach or cause other issues. The primary concern is irritation or gastrointestinal upset.



You might notice symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or a decrease in appetite. If you see any of these, make sure your pup stays hydrated and consider offering bland food, like boiled chicken and rice, to soothe their stomach.



Watch for any signs of more severe reactions, such as difficulty breathing, extreme lethargy, tremors, or a swollen abdomen. These could indicate an allergic reaction or a more serious issue requiring immediate veterinary care.



It's best to keep an eye on them for the next 24–48 hours. If anything seems off or if they consumed a gel with a potentially harmful ingredient like steroids or antibiotics, a vet consult would be advisable.
