Dear Dr. John,

Our dog has been freaking out ever since Halloween night because of the fireworks that some knuckleheads set off down the street, and she’s also been vomiting and had diarrhea because she got into some of the candy that our kids brought home. She has always been a nervous dog, but this is the worst we have seen her. What can we do for her to prevent this from happening next year? We do have an appointment to see our vet in two days but for now we are giving her Benadryl to try and quiet her down and some hamburger and rice for her stomach upset. Are we doing the right things? C.P.

Dear C.P.,

Halloween can always be a challenging night for dog owners. Typically, the problems that veterinarians see associated with the day are gastrointestinal issues as your dog is experiencing and sometimes worse due to the many sweets that dogs can be exposed to. One can always call the Pet Poison Hotline if they have concerns that their dog ingested a toxin or any candy as well as reaching out to their own veterinarian or a local veterinary emergency center.

Some of the more common toxicities include xylitol, a sugar substitute that can cause rapid hypoglycemia which can trigger seizures, liver failure, and even coma and death. Chocolate, which contains theobromine, can cause vomiting and diarrhea, cardiac issues with a fast heart rate, seizures, and more. Grapes and raisins can lead to kidney failure. If this ever goes on again, it might be better not to wait a few days to address and resolve the issues.

The things you are doing for your dog right now might help and can’t hurt, but I can’t say so with certainty and I always suggest that you let the professionals handle things. At least call for advice even if the dog cannot be seen right away. As for next year, speak to the entire family about the risks associated with the dog ingesting candies. If you suspect more fireworks, speak with your veterinarian about having a prescription to reduce the dog’s anxiety. Hope she does well.
