Your dog has ingested a significant amount of Dasuquin, and it’s understandable that you're worried about the potential effects of these supplements when consumed in large quantities.
- Dasuquin is generally well-tolerated, but overconsumption can cause gastrointestinal upset.
- Keep an eye out for symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea.
- Contact your vet immediately if your dog displays any alarming symptoms.
While Dasuquin is a joint supplement primarily containing glucosamine and chondroitin, which are usually safe, swallowing a large quantity can upset your dog’s stomach. Monitor your pet closely for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, or unusual behavior. Make sure your dog has access to plenty of fresh water.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
