Any Q

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.


How much macadamia nut is toxic to dogs?

But what we do know is that even a small amount of the nuts can cause severe symptoms. A dog can show symptoms from eating as little as 1/10 of an ounce per roughly 2 pounds of body weight. So, if you're thinking of giving your dog just a little taste, don't.

What should I do if my dog ate macadamia nuts?

If your pet eats macadamia nuts, you should contact your local veterinarian or APCC right away. Your dog will need care at a veterinary hospital if he starts shaking constantly, has a high fever or becomes unable to walk.

How long does it take for macadamia nuts to affect dogs?

Within 12 hours of ingestion, dogs with macadamia nut toxicosis typically develop weakness, depression, vomiting, ataxia, tremors, and/or hyperthermia. Tremors may be secondary to muscle weakness. Macadamia nuts may be identified in vomitus or feces.
