Question

Bruno’s little spaniel managed to get into some nuts that he left out after watching a ballgame. Knowing that nuts are toxic to dogs, Bruno takes him in to see the vet. Checking the spaniel over, the vet tells Bruno that it looks as if the dog’s body is processing the toxin and should pass it naturally. His only fear is that as the toxin is excreted it may cause damage. The vet warns Bruno that they will have to keep a close watch on his dog for trouble in the future. What kind of trouble is the vet MOST likely worried about?

Answer 1

The vet is worried about the potential damage that may occur as the toxin is excreted from the dog's body.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vet is most likely worried about the potential excretion of the toxin causing damage to the dog's organs or systems. Certain toxins can be harmful to the liver, kidneys, or gastrointestinal tract if they are not properly processed and eliminated. The vet wants to keep a close watch on the dog to ensure there are no long-term health complications.
