Do I need to worry- dog eaten garlic clove?

[timbobs]

Roxie has just vomited up her breakfast and in the vomit was a garlic clove. I know garlic isn't great for dogs, but she seems her normal self and has obviously got it out of her system by throwing it up.

However, I've read that garlic poisoning can take a few days to show symptoms.

Not sure if I need to do anything or just keep an eye out. Google hasn't been particularly helpful!

Garlic is ok as long as it's not in big doses. As she vom'd it back I'd think she'll be fine

I wouldn't worry as she has brought it back.

Thanks for your replies I’ll try not to worry and just keep an eye on her!

I used to feed tonnes of the stuff to my dogs back in Oz, they lived to a ripe old age.
Don't worry.

Is it not used in dogs for various medicinal purposes like horses?

On the bright side, Count Dracula wont be paying you a visit

It is poisonous now. Well it probably always was but we didn't know!

Just to update. She’s totally fine after the garlic!

She has been licking a paw for 3-4 days and was limping this morning so she’s been off to the vet for that ?

Hopefully a week of rest and some painkillers will sort her out or she’ll be back for some xrays.
