My dog ate bloodworm!

Hi all,

For those of you who have read my posts before, I have an insane sprollie :) she will eat ANYTHING.

Today, despite showing NO interest in it before, she has knocked my newt's pot of freeze-dried bloodworm on the floor and scoffed the lot.

It was only a small tub, and about 1/4 full.

Will she be OK? I'd rather not bother the vet if I don't have to. OH says she's acting normally and ate all her breakfast and her treat.

    Doggy will be fine, might be a little thirstier than usual though.
  • Thank you :) will make sure she has plenty of water and keep checking her bowl.

    Mine go nuts for the dried mealworms I give the birds..
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
  • According to OH, it's not the first time she's eaten fish food >.<

  • If it's freeze-dried then I presume the worms are dead and not going to infest her.

    Stephen Fry ate live ants on the telly the other night and it didn't do him any harm.
