  1. give him a dish/bowl full of milk

    he should be ok


  2. CALL POISON CONTROL

  3. look on the ingredients on the lotion and then look up ur dogs breed on the internet and see wat r some commen allergies in the dog breed and if there r toxic chemicals that can kill ur dog take itto the vet too being that it is a small dog it could be more effected by smaller amounts that wouldn't effect bigger dogs

  4. I feel pretty sure that he will be okay.

  5. It shouldn't hurt your dog.  When you put on lotion, it gets absorbed into your skin and it doesn't hurt you.

    I wouldn't worry about it.  He will be fine!  I've had a pet eat whole bottles of Oats and Honey conditioner before

  6. DUDE  chill. Your dog is fine. If he starts to throw up then go the animal hospital at once. My dog eats worst stuff than lotion and she is fine. :D don't worry  

  7. Most likely he will be fine.  Just watch him and if he shows any symptoms of distress get him to the doctor.  My dog once chewed open a jar of face cream and licked out nearly the entire contents. She was fine and was completely asymptomatic.  

  8. i'm sure your dog will be fine.

    just get him some water or something.

  9. keep an eye on him to make sure he's not showing signs of sickness. If he does show signs then take him to his vet.

  10. he should be okay, if he starts throwing up repeatedlly or acting very sick call a vet, but dogs are pretty tough. he may throw up once but should be fine. just dont let him have chocolate!

  11. give it alot of water and check the posion control center.

  12. i think he will be ok cuz dogs are especially my dog he got fixed then when he came home he started to jump and run  

  13. Read the ingredients list on it and see if it says to contact poison control if ingested.  

  14. Probably nothing, my dogs have licked lotion too. Dogs are fairly hardy animals.

  15. Hand lotion does not contain anything poisonous. It is mostly water and oil with a little perfume and a harmless preservative. The amount your dog has eaten is unlikely to have any effect on him and by now the lotion has already reached your dogs stomach so there isn't much anyone can, or needs, to do.

    Make sure your dog has water available to drink, you should always do this anyway.

    The oil may act as a mild laxative, so make sure he can get outside to the toilet if he needs to.

    Don't worry, your dog will be fine.

  16. it should be ok =). My dogs LOVE to l**k my legs/hands when I put lotion on them... they'll chase me around the house trying to l**k me! LMAO!!  

    I'd double check the label though... since it's ponds I don't think it's a medicated lotion like gold bond or anything right? Just normal plain lotion?  

  17. I think water will dilute the lotion. Just give him water, if he doesn't seem to want to drink it then put your finger in it & shake it a little, but with him looking.

  18. if it was just a little bit he will probally be fine.

  19. check the warning on the label and if it says that its not good then call your vet
