I left the pantry open and Luna ate a fortune cookie! Should I be freaking out? Is this dangerous for her? Do I need to call the vet right now? What should I do to make sure she's okay?

Answer

Hey there! No need to panic just yet. Fortune cookies are generally pretty benign for our furry pals. The main concern is really the sugar content and the fact that it's not part of her usual diet.

Here's what to watch for:

  • Luna might experience some mild digestive upset like vomiting or diarrhea. This is usually not serious and should clear up on its own in a day or so.
  • Keep an eye out for any signs of allergic reaction, though it's quite rare. This might include swelling around the face, hives, or difficulty breathing.

For now, just monitor her. Make sure she has access to fresh water to help with any potential digestive hiccups. Avoid giving her any more human snacks for the next day or so to let her tummy settle.

It's time to call the vet if:

  • She starts vomiting frequently or has persistent diarrhea for more than 24 hours.
  • You notice any signs of an allergic reaction.
  • Luna becomes lethargic or seems in significant discomfort.

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.
