I was eating a poppyseed bundt cake and gave my dog a piece will she be OK?

Thank you for your question. There should not be enough poppy seeds in a bagel to cause any kind of toxicity, and the only possibility maybe GI upset as far as I can tell. It would be best to monitor her for the next 24 hours, and if she shows any signs of vomiting or diarrhea, or lethargy, then having her seen by her veterinarian would be a good idea. I hope she is okay and everything goes well.

My dog ate a small piece of poppyseed muffin

Thank you for your question. I do not think that that small amount of poppy seed should cause any toxicities for your dog, but if you see that she is having any vomiting or diarrhea, It would be best to have your pet seen by a veterinarian, as they can examine them and see what might be going on, and get treatment if needed.

4 yr, 12 lb chihuahua AND 7 mo, maybe 50 lb german shepherd decided to help themselves to a poppy seed muffin for lunch. No symptoms other than sleeping but this is their usual napping time. Every now and then, the chihuahua will look up really quickly and look around like she hears something and then puts her head back down and goes back to her napping. Do I just keep observing them and for how long ?

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 they are both okay. I don't think that the muffin would have caused any toxicities for them, but some GI upset might be possible. If they are having any problems, it would be best to have your pet seen by a veterinarian, as they can examine them, see what might be going on, and get any testing or treatment taken care of that might be needed.

Ate half a poppyseed hot dog bun.

Hello Poppyseeds are not generally toxic but a large ingestion can cause a urine toxin screen to come up positive for opioids. You should not expect to see any symptoms but still continue to monitor your pet.

He might have eaten 4 poppy seed muffins from costco

Thank you for your question. If he ate 4 muffins, it isn't likely that he is having a toxic event from the poppy seeds, but he may have some stomach upset from the fat in the muffins. You can try fasting him for 12 hours and then feed a bland diet of boiled white chicken and boiled white rice for 2-3 days. If he continues to be uncomfortable, or is vomiting or having diarrhea, it would be best to have him seen by a veterinarian.
