When Elmer the Beagle got his paws on some raw chocolate chip dough, things quickly took a turn! 🐶🍪
His pet parents brought him to UrgentVet Carytown, where the team acted quickly to help. With medication to induce vomiting, they discovered Elmer had eaten a whopping 2.4 pounds of dough! 🍞
Raw bread dough can be dangerous for pets because the yeast continues to ferment in their stomach, producing alcohol that can lead to toxicity. Add chocolate to the mix, and it's important to seek veterinary care right away.
Thankfully, Elmer got the care he needed!
