My dog just drank really stinky, eggy, foul, nasty water. So far he's fine. Should i do anything?

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. It sounds like your dog had quite the adventurous sip! While his curiosity is commendable, drinking foul water can sometimes lead to digestive upset.



Firstly, don't panic. If your dog seems fine for now, it’s a good sign. However, keep an eye on him for any signs of gastrointestinal distress such as vomiting, diarrhea, or a decrease in appetite. These can indicate that his tummy isn't too happy with his choice of refreshment.



To support him, make sure he has access to plenty of clean, fresh water to help flush out any potential harmful substances. You can also offer him a bland diet for the next day or two, like boiled chicken and rice, to give his digestive system a little break.



Be sure to watch for any signs of more serious issues like lethargy, ongoing vomiting, blood in stool, or any unusual behavior. These could indicate an infection or even toxicity, and would require immediate veterinary attention.



If any concerning symptoms arise, or if you’d like more peace of mind, I encourage you to book a video consult with one of our veterinarians here at Dial A Vet. We’re here to help ensure your furry friend stays happy and healthy.
