Can ladybugs be poisonous to dachshunds?
My six-month old dachshund has vomited several times in the past day and a half. With the holiday, we weren’t able to get into the vet until tomorrow. He is fine right now, but I just caught him eating a ladybug. Now he is coughing a bit and gagging a little. We’ve had quite a few of these unwelcome critters in our home for the past week, and we are trying to get them out of the house. Could they be the culprit of his sickness, and are they poisonous? I am very concerned – especially because you can’t always catch him if he eats one.
