Weed Killer

[Kujo]

I am a little worried as yesterday i sprayed some weeds and grass with glyphosate (?) which is meant to be a weed and grass killer it came in a yellow bottle and the stuff was blue. I left my dog inside when i was using it.

I let her outside around an hour and a half later while i was taking the laundry off the line and i turned around and i saw her trying to eat some grass which was near the part that i had sprayed and i am not sure whether or not i sprayed that grass to. I stoped her from eating the grass but i think that she probably would have licked the grass before i told her to stop.

Today she is acting fine and ate all her breakfast.

But i was wondering do you think that she is ok? or should i get someone to take her to the vets.

I tried to do a google search but could not find any answers that would help, so hopefully one of you very knowedgeable DOL'ers can put my mind at ease.

By the way furkid is a chihuahua so she is only tiny.

Glyphosate is reputedly very safe for us and dogs .

I usually let spray dry completely, and preferably leave the area dog free overnight, tho.

We have used it for years, and not seen any probs with any of the animals.

Thanks so much for your replies,

I thought that it was not to bad but i stress at anything.

The area which i sprayed was dry when i let her out but i totally forgot that she should have been supervised as i had sprayed.

My dog licked up a puddle of Round Up when I was weeding. I rang the poisons info line (meant for people). They said to give her some milk and call the vet. The vet said she should be fine, and she was.
