Hey there! Don't worry too much — let's take a look at the situation together. Calamari itself isn't toxic to dogs, but depending on how it's cooked or seasoned, it could cause some tummy issues like vomiting or diarrhea. You'll want to keep an eye on Bella for the next 12-24 hours.
Here are a few things to look out for:
- Symptoms to monitor: Upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. These are pretty common when dogs eat something new.
- Emergency signs: If Bella starts having difficulty breathing, extreme vomiting, or shows signs of an allergic reaction (like swelling around the face), that’s a time to call the vet right away.
- What you can do at home: Make sure Bella has access to plenty of fresh water in case she gets a little dehydrated from any diarrhea. Monitor her closely and keep note of any symptoms.
- If Bella seems off or she's experiencing symptoms that last more than 24 hours, give your vet a call to check in.
You're doing a great job looking out for Bella, and it's always better to be safe than sorry.
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.
