Maggie, 2001 (Apr 22) URGENT QUESTION?. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/4209

Dear Maggie,
How's your dog? Some sea slugs do have nasty tasting chemicals to stop things eating them but I doubt they would actually poison an animal that ate them. Since I don't know what sea slug your dog ate, or where in the world you come from, I can't say much more. But if your dog is like mine - their stomachs can survive the most revolting meals
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
