My friends 8 week old puppies ate fire starter. What do I do?

Thank you for your question. I apologize for the delay in my reply, this venue is not set up for urgent emails. I hope that the puppy is okay, and that you were able to seek emergency veterinary care if needed.

My 75# golden retriever apparently ingested about a half of a duraflame firestarter log about six hours ago. He is showing no signs of ill effects. He ate his dinner and was playing with the other dogs. What should I watch for?

There are no toxic ingredients in Duraflame firestarter logs but the ingredients may cause an intestinal obstruction if eaten in a large enough quantity. I would keep an eye on Dallas for signs of intestinal obstruction and visit your Veterinarian if you notice any symptoms on this page.
