It's concerning when pets ingest products not meant for them. Your dog chewing on an Aveeno lotion bottle and possibly ingesting lotion and plastic warrants close observation and potential action.
- Consider if your dog might have ingested plastic pieces.
- Aveeno lotions are generally non-toxic but may cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
- Watch for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in behavior.
Aveeno lotion itself is typically not toxic to dogs, but swallowing any lotion could lead to mild stomach upset. The ingestion of plastic is more concerning as it can cause blockages, which may require medical attention. Monitor your dog closely for signs of distress, such as vomiting, lack of appetite, or abdominal pain.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
