Hey there this is Nicki. Pico (border collie poodle) or Nova (chihuahua) got into the trash while I was asleep and pulled out two paper towels with my vape coil in it. I saw it laying on the floor when I got up. (Vape coil is the used coil from my ecig vape that has used coil soaked into the cotton of it). Idk if either of them licked it or chewed on it or anything but I was reading that nicotine is poisonous to dogs. Should I be worried? Attached is a photo of the coil.

Hi Nicki! Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question. This is concerning because nicotine is toxic to dogs. Since you aren't sure if they ingested any or not, I'd keep an eye on them for now. If you see tremors, constricted pupils, drooling, excitement, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, a racing heart rate, or twitching, take them into a vet immediately. Typically signs of toxicity occur within one hour. I hope this helps!
