What are symptoms of small dogs and spray paint fumes?

Its possible my dog either ingested or smelled the spray paint fumes and I wanted to know if anyone knew the symptoms that dogs could possible have? Example vomiting, diarreha etc.

The symptoms you’re looking for are quite similar to those in humans:
*Difficulty breathing
*Faintness/dizziness (she may walk like she’s "drunk")
*Vomiting
*Lethargy

If you think she may have been exposed, get her to fresh air (I’m sure you already have) and monitor her. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, call your vet or a 24/7 emergency hospital in your area.

Good luck!

Inhalation – usually respiatory dystress, Ingestion – diarrhea, vomiting.
Most paints are relatively non-toxic or at least have minimum toxicity these days. See your vet – be sure to take the paint can or lable with you – it should have an 800 number you or your vet can call to find out the symptoms and treatments.
