Please allow me a few minutes to type a response.

I understand that you are concerned because Maddie ingested a lime slice. Let me see if I can help.

There is nothing toxic about ingesting citrus fruit in small amounts and I would expect no adverse effects from this. At the most, she may experience a bit of GI upset, but if so, I would expect it to be mild and self-limiting and to resolve on its own.

I would not expect her to show any signs from this, but if she did, it would be shortly after she ate it.

You are more than welcome. Please keep me updated if anything changes. You can reply to this post as it is our private chat, and I will receive a notification and can reply when I am able.

I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have ANY other questions. My goal is to give you 100% satisfaction and if you are not yet satisfied, please reply so I can clarify for you.

Have a good rest of your day as well.
