Your dog has ingested a small piece of Apoxie Sculpt, and you're understandably concerned about its potential toxicity or harm.
- Apoxie Sculpt is non-toxic when cured, but ingesting any foreign object can cause issues.
- Watch for signs of digestive upset, such as vomiting or diarrhea.
- Contact your vet if symptoms appear or you're concerned about potential blockages.
Apoxie Sculpt is generally non-toxic once cured, but eating non-food items can be risky for dogs. While a small piece might pass through their system without much trouble, it's essential to keep an eye on your pet for any signs of distress. If you notice vomiting, diarrhea, or any unusual behavior, it is best to consult with a veterinarian. Monitoring your dog's stools for the passage of the item can also provide reassurance that it is moving through their digestive system.
