- Lethargy or excessive sedation
- Loss of coordination or confusion
- Vomiting

These symptoms can indicate a toxic reaction, and the severity may vary depending on the size and overall health of your dog.

Frequently Asked Questions

- What should I do if my dog starts showing severe symptoms?
If your dog exhibits severe symptoms like seizures or collapses, take them to an emergency veterinary clinic right away.
- Can I induce vomiting to help my dog?
Inducing vomiting might help in certain situations, but it should only be done under the guidance of a veterinarian or professional poison control service to ensure safety and appropriateness for your specific pet.
