Hello there! It sounds like your dog had a little taste adventure. Dogs are naturally curious and use their mouths to explore the world around them. Depending on what the fluids were, your dog might be just fine or might need a little more attention.
Common household fluids like water or even small amounts of non-toxic cleaning solutions might not cause any significant issues. However, if the fluid was something like antifreeze, paint, or any chemical solutions, this could be more concerning as they can be harmful or even toxic to dogs.
Keep an eye on your furry friend for any signs of distress. Important symptoms to watch for include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive drooling, lethargy, or difficulty breathing. If any of these appear, it’s crucial to seek veterinary advice right away.
In the meantime, make sure your dog has plenty of fresh water to help flush any potential toxins from their system. You might also want to monitor their behavior for the next day or so to ensure everything is back to normal.
If you're ever in doubt or notice concerning symptoms, it's best to err on the side of caution and reach out to a vet. Feel free to book a video consult with one of our experts at Dial A Vet for personalized guidance. We're here to help!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
