    You dont need to worry..printer ink is water based and non toxic...they are not gonna make poisonous inks that are used and handled in everyday life. Give him a bwl of milk and put him somewhere that wont be affected when he has to go to toilet...ink might stain.in urine... Milk will help any upset stomach

    If she is acting fine I wouldn't worry too much. Animals eat strange things some times. There is a drink called epec syrup (or something like that) it's suppossed to induce vomiting. Also if she should start acting weird most vets have a afterhours number you can call and they can let you know of an emergency vet clinic to take her to. Good luck I hope your baby is ok.

    its not, she will be ok. not every one can get to a vet on a sunday. around here if your animal is sick on the weekend your just out of luck. a lot of you offered some good and caring advice but there were some really rude answers too. there is no need to be rude when you can clearly see the poor girl was scared to death.

    When you run out of ink, plug the puppy in.

    LOL

    Really, seek some official advice if you are concerned.

    check the cartridge, if it says non-toxic she'll be ok.

    just make sure she gets a lot of fluids like water or beer...hehe just kidding.

    when in doubt a quick call to the vet wont hurt.

    Good Luck!

    Call your local poisons information service. Info might be on the cartridge iteself.

    No, but if you see her acting out of the normal call a doctor or your vet.

    most ink is made out of soy, so she should be ok, check the package, and fed her a little extra water and laugh at the color of her pee.

    I would call your vet and just ask, it shouldn't be a problem, think of how much paper a pup will eat.
