YorkieTalk Newbie! | Chewing Cigarette Butts! Hello, new to this forum! I have a 5 lb yorkie that seems to have found a cigarette butt on our balcony. (we don't smoke, but our upstairs neighbors seem to). He chewed it apart and I did find some nicotine stuff strewn about the rug. Looks like he just chewed on it a bit and tore it apart. from what i am reading, his size could handle up to 2.5mg of nicottine before being toxic. do you think he could have ingested that much from tearing it apart? I found the thing 1/2 hour ago, and Piper (my yorkie) is currently sleeping on my lap. You think he's ok? |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I always recommend that someone had a good phone relationship with their vet. I take Joey in every year for a check-up, and call my vet when I have other concerns. They will answer many questions on the phone, and with poisons, the first half hour is so important. He'll be able to tell you what symptoms to look for, and if you need to bring him in. Best of luck!
