Can my dog get sick from eating a whole bottle of Galliprant? He's 70 pounds and I’m freaking out!

I came home to find that my 70-pound dog somehow got into and ate an entire bottle of Galliprant. I'm really worried about what effects this might have on him. Could this cause serious harm, and what should I do right now?

Answer

Your dog consuming an entire bottle of Galliprant is indeed concerning, and it could potentially lead to serious health issues. Immediate attention is recommended to ensure your dog's well-being.

  • Monitor your dog for any signs of distress or unusual behavior
  • Galliprant overdose can cause gastrointestinal and kidney issues
  • Contact a veterinarian as soon as possible for guidance

Galliprant, used for pain and inflammation relief in dogs, can cause toxicity if ingested in large amounts. Symptoms of an overdose may include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, and potentially more severe issues such as kidney damage. It’s crucial to observe your dog closely and seek veterinary assistance to prevent any serious outcomes.
