Question

i have a 16 lbs smooth fox terrier 3 years old      he ate some


Macadamia Nuts

Although macadamia nut toxicosis is unlikely to be fatal in dogs, it can cause very uncomfortable symptoms that may persist for up to 48 hours. Affected dogs develop weakness in their rear legs, appear to be in pain, may have tremors and may develop a low grade fever. Fortunately, these signs will gradually subside over 48 hours, but dogs experiencing more than mild symptoms can benefit from veterinary care, which may include intravenous fluid therapy and pain control.

Accepted Answer

I would suggest getting him in for supportive care just as the poison site you copied suggests.

He's a little guy and if he ate some macadamia nuts fluids could help him get rid of the toxins more rapidly and keep him more comfortable.

This site may help you locate an emergency vet if you need one

Or

You can call the Animal Poison Center. The phone # for this service that provides nationwide immediate help is 1-800-213-6680.

There is a one time fee per case.

or

National Animal Poison Control Center : 1 XXX-XXX-XXXX . This 24-hour manned emergency number is sponsored in part by 36 different companies along with a charge for consultation.

They may direct you to local in person care though.

Hope this helps you!
