Your dog has potentially ingested some chamomile seeds, which are generally considered low-risk but can occasionally cause mild digestive upset in canines. Monitoring for any delayed reactions is a wise precaution.
- Chamomile seeds are typically not toxic to dogs.
- Watch for signs of digestive upset like vomiting or diarrhea.
- Seek veterinary advice if you notice any unusual symptoms.
While chamomile itself is often used for calming, the seeds can potentially lead to mild symptoms in dogs, such as loose stools or minor stomach discomfort. Keeping an eye on your dog over the next 24 to 48 hours for any changes in behavior or digestion is recommended. If your dog appears normal and shows no signs of distress, he is likely fine.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
