You've applied Viaderm to your dog's chin instead of her intended treatment area. This poses potential risks due to licking and ingestion.
- Viaderm is not intended for oral ingestion.
- Licking the applied area could lead to ingestion.
- Quick action can minimize potential adverse effects.
We recommend gently rinsing the Viaderm off your dog's chin as soon as possible to prevent her from licking and ingesting the medication. If your dog has already licked the area, monitor for any unusual behavior, such as vomiting or lethargy, as she may need further attention from a veterinarian. It's always best to use medications as directed to avoid unintended side effects.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
