My dog ate snow on the mountain plant. What symptoms to watch for?

I think my 35 lb cocker spaniel may have eaten some snow on the mountain plant outside. Can you tell me symptoms to look for?

Unless Bentley ate a very large quantity of snow, he shouldn't suffer any symptoms. In case he ate a large amount you should watch for the following symptoms:

1. Increased urination
2. Nausea and gastrointestinal upset
3. Drastic drop in blood pressure (lethargy, weakness)
4. Body and muscle weakness
5. Neurological issues

If he experiences any of those- take him to the vet urgently in order to get treatment.
