My 46-pound standard poodle ate 6 pieces of garlic bread about 10 minutes ago. He is 5 1/2 months old and his name is Bogey. The garlic bread was Texas brand garlic toast, not homemade, with no chunks of garlic. Each piece was approximately 1" thick, 3" wide, and 5" long, with a lot of butter. He still acts hungry and has no other medical problems or medications. What should I do?
