puppies ate antibiotic cream

Question
My two 14 week old puppies ate half a tube of triple antibiotic cream.  Do I need to worry about them and what should I look for?

Answer
I am not a vet, but I do not think this will hurt them, triple antibiotic ointment is not toxic to dogs.  It is petroleum-based so it may give them diarrhea.  If so, you may want to feed a bland diet of rice and chicken breast for 2 days until it subsides.
