Hey there! No need to panic just yet. It’s pretty common for our furry friends to get into food they shouldn’t, and while mac and cheese isn’t ideal, it’s not immediately dangerous. However, it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on Daisy for any unusual behavior over the next few hours.
Here’s what to watch for:
- Upset tummy signs like vomiting or diarrhea
- Lethargy or unusual tiredness
- Excessive thirst or urination
If Daisy only had a small amount and she’s acting normal, it’s usually okay to monitor her at home. Make sure she has access to plenty of fresh water and let her outside if she needs to relieve herself. Avoid giving her more human food to prevent additional upset.
Keep in mind, if she shows any signs of gastrointestinal distress or if you notice anything severe like repeated vomiting, diarrhea, or any signs of pain, that would be a good time to reach out to your vet.
Trust your instincts as a pet parent. If you’re concerned about any unusual symptoms or if Daisy seems off in any way, don't hesitate to get in touch with the vet.
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.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
