Hey there! I totally get why you’re worried, but let’s take a deep breath. 😊 Bella munching on some refried beans isn’t necessarily an emergency, but it's good to know what to watch for. Generally, these beans aren’t toxic, but they can cause some tummy upset.
Here are some symptoms to keep an eye on:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Excessive gas or bloating
Most of these are minor and should pass on their own. Make sure Bella has access to plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially if she develops diarrhea. You can offer her a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, for the next meal to help soothe her digestion.
You should call the vet if you notice any of the following:
- Persistent vomiting or diarrhea that lasts more than 24 hours
- Signs of severe discomfort like whining or bloating that lasts
- If she becomes lethargic or refuses food and water
Bella should be back to normal soon, but 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
