Your dog eating an entire pack of large tortillas may lead to digestive issues such as bloating or upset stomach. Monitor your dog for symptoms, but it is generally not an emergency unless symptoms rapidly worsen.
- Monitor for vomiting or diarrhea.
- Watch for signs of lethargy or discomfort.
- Ensure fresh water is available to support digestion.
While tortillas themselves are not toxic to dogs, consuming a large amount could lead to discomfort due to the high carbohydrate and calorie content. Keep an eye on your dog over the next 24 hours for any unusual behavior or digestive issues. If your dog shows signs of a serious problem like repeated vomiting or severe lethargy, contacting a vet would be the best course of action.
