Your dog has ingested a small amount of Ampho-Phenique, and you're understandably concerned about any potential effects this might have on her health.
- Ampho-Phenique is not intended for ingestion, especially by pets.
- Watch for any signs of distress in your dog, such as vomiting or unusual behavior.
- Consult a vet if you're concerned or if symptoms arise.
Ampho-Phenique contains both camphor and phenol, ingredients that can be harmful to dogs when ingested in large amounts. Since only a small amount was licked off, it may not cause serious harm, but it’s important to monitor your dog closely for any adverse reactions such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. If she shows any of these symptoms, it would be wise to contact your veterinarian for further advice.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
