My dog ate bacon grease, now vomiting. Is she sick or grieving?

Fast him until tonight. Offer small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte throughout the day. Consider feeding him a bland diet in small, frequent amounts for the next few days then transition slowly to his regular diet afterwards. Monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Loss of appetite and vomiting can be observed with many conditions such as gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, kidney disease, pancreatitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Layka evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. You can offer a bland diet which may help. This diet could be composed of rice, boiled chicken, ham, turkey, lean hamburgers or low fat cottage cheese. They would be able to check for these possibilities and others depending on the findings on exam. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

She may have ingested something that isn't agreeing with her GI tract. Monitor her and if the symptoms worsen, seek veterinary attention. If not, withhold food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet ( boiled boneless / skinless chicken and plain white rice) in small, frequent amounts. Serve warm or mix in a teaspoon or two of baby food to stimulate the appetite. If her appetite does not return or she begins to vomit, see your veterinarian.

She will likely have [vomiting](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/vomiting-1) and/or [diarrhea](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/diarrhea-1) later. If symptoms are mild, you may be able to [manage her at home](https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-treat-your-dogs-upset-stomach) by withholding food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet (1:1 ratio of plain boiled boneless chicken and plain white rice). Feed in small, frequent amounts waiting at least one hour between feedings. If the vomiting stops, continue feeding until the stool is normal. Transition slowly to the regular diet. If the vomiting or diarrhea persist for more than 24 hours, see your veterinarian. She may also be at risk of [pancreatitis](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/canine-pancreatitis) which can be quite serious. Symptoms may include lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These symptoms should be addressed by your veterinarian immediately.

Poor Gatsby! He could have a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or may have pancreatitis. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.

Since last night was Halloween, think about if there's anything she could have eaten that she shouldn't have and take her to the vet ASAP if you realize your chocolate stash or your entire pan of bacon wrapped something or anothers from the potluck is missing. If you can't think of anything she ate, it's generally ok to wait 24 hours to see if she get back on her food naturally. Sometimes something goes wrong in the gut and we don't know why but it resolves quickly. If she's not back to normal in 24 hours, or has any vomiting or diarrhea in the mean time, she needs to go to her vet for evaluation and supportive care. I hope she's feeling better soon and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Poor Leiba. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
