at worst, you may see some stomach upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea). This can usually be managed at home with a 24 hour fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly tot he regular diet afterwards. Intestinal parasites could be a concern, so make sure Charlie is on a monthly preventive and monitor for diarrhea, lethargy or loss of appetite. If necessary, see your veterinarian and submit a stool sample to diagnose parasites or bacterial overgrowth.
