Your dog has ingested some wildflower seeds, which can be concerning given the potential for digestive issues or toxicity, depending on the seed type. Fortunately, your pet is not currently showing any concerning signs.
- Monitor for any unusual symptoms like vomiting or lethargy.
- Consider the type of wildflower seed that was ingested.
- Contact a vet if any new symptoms appear.
Many wildflower seeds are not toxic, but some may cause mild digestive upset in dogs, such as vomiting or diarrhea. It's important to keep an eye on your dog for any changes in behavior or health. Since your dog is a medium to large breed, a small amount may not cause major issues, but it's still wise to observe her closely over the next 24–48 hours for any signs of distress.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
