Alcohol is toxic to dogs. It can cause a range of symptoms, including:
* Vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Lethargy
* Loss of coordination
* Coma
* Death
Even small amounts of alcohol can be dangerous for dogs, especially small breeds.
Here are some important considerations:
* Always consult with your veterinarian before giving any medication to your dog.
* Never give your dog human medications without consulting your veterinarian.
* Be aware of the ingredients in any medications you are considering giving your dog.
* If you suspect your dog has ingested alcohol, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center immediately.
Alternatives to alcohol-based medications:
* Your veterinarian can recommend alternative medications that are safe for dogs.
* There are many over-the-counter medications specifically formulated for dogs.
If you are unsure about the safety of any medication for your dog, it is always best to err on the side of caution and consult your veterinarian.
