Question
Hi my dog just ate a bowl of cooked mini shrimps? will he be Okay?

Answer
Hi Tina,
Unless he's allergic to shrimp, he should be FINE!
Maybe some diarrhea tomorrow but it won't kill him!
If he is allergic, you need to watch for signs of swelling in the face and eyes. Give Benedryl right away (1 to 2 teaspoons) and take him to the vet immediately. I haven't heard of too many dogs allergic to shrimp so I really think he'll be OK. Try to relax and good luck!
