Your 10-month-old pup has ingested half a tube of Bepanthen cream, and while it may not be immediately life-threatening, monitoring for symptoms is important.
- Keep an eye on your pup for any signs of distress or discomfort.
- Most of the ingredients in Bepanthen are not highly toxic to dogs.
- Consult a vet if your pet shows unusual symptoms.
Bepanthen cream contains ingredients meant for topical application and is generally not harmful in small amounts if ingested. However, gastrointestinal upset like vomiting or diarrhea could occur. Most dogs will be okay, but it's good to keep an eye on any changes in behavior.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
