My cat with pancreatitis ate expired dental treats. Should I worry?

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is difficult to know how Pumpkin will tolerate the expired food. If it had any evidence of mold, he may experience some gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting or diarrhea over the next 24-48 hours. If you notice that he is more lethargic/sleepier than usual, loses his appetite, vomits or has diarrhea, I would have him evaluated by your veterinarian. He may require some symptomatic gastrointestinal support. If he continues to act normally at home (eating, drinking, urinating and passing normal stools), and he is otherwise healthy, I think he should be OK! (And I would definitely throw out that old bag of food!). I hope this is helpful!

I wouldn't worry about dry food being left out unless it's not being finished in a couple of days. Your vet may carry Virbac Dental treats or Greenies for cats, either one of those should help keep her teeth clean and be a tasty treat.

I would recommend avoiding anything high in fats and salts to a dogs who has had pancreatitis. The main cause of pancreatitis in dogs is high fat meals. Some of these treats have a high fat and salt content to make them taste good. I would check the label but most likely it would be better to not give them to Stanlee

There is a slight risk that the dewormer was contaminated. Monitor for signs of vomiting, diarrhea and lack of appetite. If she displays any of these then a trip to the veterinarian for treatment is recommended. Typically though the main issue is the medicine just isn't effective anymore and you can follow-up with a non-expired dewormer after waiting 24 hrs to make sure she has none of the signs mentioned above. However, she should be ok with conservative treatment through your vet even if she does have an upset stomach.

The safest option is to discard it. There may be bacterial or fungal growth in old food since it has been open and exposed to air and light. Nutritional value is likely decreased as well. https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-safely-store-pet-food

While not an ideal main diet, there shouldn't be too much trouble with her eating this many treats, though she may have some mild intestinal upset, just feed her as usual and make sure she has plenty of clean, fresh water. If she does show any signs of illness, refusal to eat, vomiting, diarrhea, get her in to see your vet as soon as possible.

This should not be a problem, however I would reduce his evening meal by approximately the amount of the treats. The worst that might happen is that your dog gets diarrhea or a tummy upset. If that happens, feed boiled white rice and white chicken for a day and then transition back to his normal food. Hide the treats on top of the kitchen cabinets!
