I used a cotton swab pad thing with nail polish remover to take my nail polish off. Once I was done, I threw it away in my trash can. Then a few hours later my dog went over when I wasn't looking and took the cotton thing out of my trash can and started chewing on it...
Is this bad? Like, the remover was 100% completely dry and had been sitting in the trash can for at least an hour. Is it harmful to him even though it was dry?
They usually just keep them in and observe them for a few hours until they are sure that it's had enough time to pass through the digestive system.
I would watch him for the next couple hours and even the next couple days. Watch out if he starts vomiting, coughing, or dragging his bum on the floor. These could all be signs that there's something wrong. Also look at his eyes and if there's any weird discharge. If any of these things are present I would call your vet immediately. It may end up being fine but better safe than sorry. [ pinkpolkadots's advice column | Ask pinkpolkadots A Question ]

it can't harm your dog unless he had a ton of it.
theres a 98% chance that nothing wrong will happen with your dog.
if your dog starts to act weird, tell a parent as soon as possible though.
but i'm sure the dog will be fine.
