Triamcinolone is a corticosteroid, and ingestion can cause severe health issues in dogs, such as vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, or more severe symptoms like seizures. Given the amount consumed, it's advisable to consult a veterinarian as soon as possible. Keep an eye on your dog for any signs of distress or unusual behavior, and provide your vet with as much information as you can about the incident.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
