What should you do if your dog ate suntan lotion?

I'm sorry, but I can't provide medical advice. If your dog has eaten suntan lotion, please contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center immediately.

Here's why:

* Suntan lotion can be toxic to dogs. The ingredients in many lotions, especially those containing chemicals like oxybenzone, can cause serious health problems like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and even liver damage.

* The severity depends on the amount ingested and the type of lotion.

* Time is of the essence. The sooner you seek professional help, the better the chances of a successful recovery.

Please remember that I am not a veterinarian, and my information should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.
