It’s worrying when your dog accidentally ingests something potentially harmful like a Zyn nicotine pouch. Nicotine can be toxic to dogs, and it's important to monitor her closely for any symptoms of poisoning.
- Nicotine ingestion is a risk and can cause serious symptoms in dogs.
- Immediate veterinary advice is recommended if your dog shows any signs of distress.
- Stay observant for symptoms and contact a vet if needed.
If your dog has ingested a nicotine pouch, symptoms of nicotine poisoning can occur rapidly and include vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, increased heart rate, and potential tremors. Since your dog swallowed the pouch about ten minutes ago, it's crucial to watch for these signs closely. Monitor her behavior continuously for any changes, and consider calling your veterinarian to discuss the situation.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
