Tea bag worries! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Help, my 4 month old puppy has eaten a tea bag! She threw up and ran around hyper. She did eat and drank and as I'm writing this she has just laid down on my lap! Should I be concerned? Has anyone had this happen to them?

I would call the pet poison hotline or your vet/emergency vet.

That's a new one to me. You could phone vet just as a question & see what they say.

When she threw up, did you see the tea bag or any tea in the vomit, how long after she ate it did she throw up. In any case a call to your vet should have been the FIRST thing to do. Always better to be safe then sorry.

Couldn't agree more. I've had to call twice so far because little Miss Thing thinks she is a vacuum cleaner.....thankfully she hasn't poisoned herself yet.

Better safe than sorry.

As long as the puppy does not continue to throw up, she should be good. How is she doing today?

Thank you so much for the info. Harley-Quinn is doing great today. She only threw up the one time and she ate, drank and did her business so I think we averted any poisoning. Mommy on the other hand slept with one eye open all night worrying about her!

I am happy to hear Harley-Quinn is doing well today.

My friend's baby girl ate a tea bag and was very sick, but she recovered. She had to go to the ER. Here is her thread:

Glad she's ok

Harley quinn · 11-02-2016, 05:51 PM

I was so glad it went as well as it did. After reading up on how tea bags could be so toxic to dogs I was really worried, but luckily Harley didn't get all of those symptoms I read about. I think we really lucked out. Now I check and recheck to make sure there is nothing she can get to.

Was this a Tea bag with the staple & string ? If yes & she ate those things & did not throw them up then she is not out of the woods as the staple can cut her intestines & the string can strangulate her intestines. If it was just a tea bag without those things then she should be ok by now.
