Two medium to large dogs, Broadway (10 years old) and Colt (8 months old), ate 3/4 of a cinnamon raisin bagel. One dog weighs about 88 lbs, and the smaller one weighs about 50 lbs and is under one year old. They have not vomited since eating the bagel, but we gave them each one tablespoon of expired hydrogen peroxide, then realized it was expired and gave another tablespoon from a new bottle. The second dose was given about 25 minutes after the first. What should we do now, and what symptoms should we look out for regarding the raisins?
