Can one macadamia nut hurt a dog?

Macadamia nuts can be toxic to dogs if they eat quite a few. If your dog ate one or a part of one, they should be fine. Monitor them closely for signs of vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, and if you see any of the signs it would be best to have them seen by your veterinarian.

What are the signs of macadamia nut poisoning in dogs?

Signs of poisoning develop 3-24 hours after ingestion and include weakness, reluctance to get up/stand, reluctance to walk, trembling, lethargy, vomiting and fever. The prognosis for recovery is excellent, however veterinary assessment may be required.
