It seems your dog swallowed Cerenia liquid drops intended for nasal administration. While it is generally safe, there are a few things to watch for to ensure your dog's well-being.
- Monitor your dog for any signs of distress or unusual behavior.
- Understand that Cerenia can be administered orally, but watch for side effects.
- Consult a veterinarian if you notice any concerning symptoms.
Though Cerenia is sometimes given orally to treat nausea and vomiting, it was not designed to be taken in this way through the nasal route. Most likely, your dog will be fine after swallowing the liquid, but it’s important to keep an eye out for any side effects like lethargy, diarrhea, or vomiting. If such symptoms arise, it's best to consult with a veterinarian.
