It sounds like your puppy had a curious moment with a tube of Bio Oil. While it's unclear if any was ingested, it is wise to monitor him for any unusual symptoms.
- Watch for any vomiting or diarrhea as common signs.
- Monitor for changes in behavior, such as lethargy or agitation.
- Observe if there’s any swelling or irritation in the mouth.
Ingesting small amounts of Bio Oil is usually not harmful, but it can cause mild gastrointestinal upset in some puppies. Keep a close eye on him for the next 24 to 48 hours. If you notice any concerning symptoms, or if you're unsure about the amount ingested, consulting with a veterinarian can provide peace of mind.
