Hey there! So, about Bella and those lychees—great question! It's always good to check because some fruits aren't the best for our furry pals. Lychees aren't directly toxic to dogs, but it's better to err on the side of caution.
If Bella managed to eat a little bit of the lychee flesh, she's likely going to be just fine. Just avoid letting her munch on the seeds, as they can be a choking hazard and potentially harmful when consumed in large amounts. Also, overeating the flesh can lead to an upset tummy.
Here’s what to keep an eye on:
- If she shows signs of digestive upset like vomiting or diarrhea, these can usually be managed by withholding food for a few hours and then giving bland meals (like boiled chicken and rice) until she feels better.
- Keep an eye out for signs of a more serious issue like lethargy, intense vomiting, or unusual behavior.
As for emergencies, if Bella starts showing any concerning symptoms like difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, or if she’s acting really strange, then it’s time to call a vet ASAP.
Otherwise, give her plenty of water and monitor her for any changes. Staying hydrated is key!
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.
