Your dog's exposure to the contents of a Juul pod is concerning, as e-cigarette liquids can be toxic to pets. It's important to closely monitor his behavior and be aware that prompt action might be needed.
- E-cigarette liquids contain nicotine, which is harmful to dogs.
- Look for signs of nicotine poisoning, such as vomiting or unusual behavior.
- It's better to err on the side of caution and contact a vet if symptoms arise.
Ingesting nicotine can be very dangerous for dogs, potentially leading to symptoms like drooling, vomiting, increased heart rate, or more severe signs such as seizures. Given that you are unsure of how much was ingested, I recommend observing your dog closely and being prepared to act if you notice anything unusual. Even if your dog isn't showing symptoms right away, toxicity can sometimes take a little time to manifest.
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.
