My dog ate his Lacri-Lube eye medication. Is it safe for him?

Hi and thanks for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The Polysporin contents are not toxic. However, Willis may experience some transient vomiting or diarrhea. It would be more concerning if Willis ate part of or the whole tube as that could cause a intestinal obstruction. If you are still concerned, you may phone the Pet Poison Helpline: 1-855-764-7661. I hope this helps and best of luck to you and Willis!

You can use it in a pinch but I would not use it long term as it contains Vitamin A. Vitamin A is fat soluble vitamin and can stay in the body a long time as it's stored in fat. I don't know if it would cause an overdose of Vitamin A long term but I would not risk it. So, yes, use it for now, but as soon as the vet gets stock you should go back to using the Lacri-Lube. You could also use this: ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Xailin-Night-Lubricating-Eye-Ointment/dp/B01CAQ3UPI/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=EX1H9OBLBXQ&keywords=xailin+night+eye+ointment&qid=1563278368&s=gateway&sprefix=xailin+night%2Caps%2C282&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A8FWVXVAMXNC9 )

At worst, you may see some vomiting and/or diarrhea. As long as Layla is behaving normally otherwise, either can be managed at home with a 24 hour fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly tot the regular diet afterwards. Monitor for persistent vomiting/diarrhea, extreme lethargy, loss of appetite or wobbly gait. These symptoms should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Hello. Since Luna just ate the chapstick & not any of the plastic, he will be fine. There is nothing toxic in the chapstick, but it may give him a loose stool for a day or so. But otherwise, not too much to worry about. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello. there is nothing toxic in this preparation, but do be aware that he may develop some soft stool/diarrhea in the next 12-36 hours. It should be self-limiting, but if it continues for more than 2 days or there is any vomiting, please seek veterinary attention. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Cheater is a naughty guy! But, luckily he should be ok. I would expect to possibly see diarrhea, given all the oils in this lip balm. You should watch for that. Vomiting would be rare, but possible, given the castor oil.

I would recommend that you contact Pet Poison Helpline for advice on this particular question. I am a bit concerned about the hydrochloric acid. The Helpline will be able to definitively answer your question, and will let you know if Lennox needs to seek emergency veterinary care. Do not attempt to induce vomiting at this time.
