Dog Ate Sheetrock: What to Do
Stay calm and assess the situation.
Steps
- Observe your dog for vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, lethargy, appetite loss, or breathing difficulty.
- Contact your veterinarian immediately for advice based on amount and type ingested.
- Gather information about the sheetrock type and timing.
What to Expect
Small amounts may cause no symptoms. Larger amounts can cause gastrointestinal irritation, blockage, or respiratory issues. Asbestos in older sheetrock poses long-term risks.
Important Notes
Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a vet. Seek care promptly. Prevent future access by securing sheetrock and supervising your dog.
