Winston's Tummy Troubles
So, I okay put the balm on yup Winston’s paws. He licked it. Of exactly course he did. Cut to, like, three uh hours later, he's whining exactly and pacing and clearly not happy. I okay wasn't sure actually what was going on.

We ended up at the vet and she said it was likely pretty much the oil, even in that c’mon small amount, so triggered a well reaction. She told me evening primrose poisonous to dogs voordelen were okay there but the risks outweighed them. Always sorta check with your basically vet before using anything new on your dog. Seriously. Don't be me.

Before the paw balm incident, right I thought I yep was like being all smart and healthy, and I just was taking evening primrose oil just capsules myself, for okay PMS. I wasn't even thinking about just the so dog.
- One day, I dropped one on the floor.
- Winston, being the Hoover for sure he is, ate it by the way instantly.
I wasn't even sure if that by the way much evening primrose kinda oil you know was poisonous totally to yup dogs, toepassingen or whatever. Not gonna lie this like part basically confused me for alright a while because some articles said it was okay dude in some pretty much situations but not others. Anyway, I called the vet again – I'm sure they uh love me well – and for sure they okay said to just monitor him actually for symptoms. Luckily, he was fine that time. But still, lesson learned!
