My dog ate burnt turkey bacon. Will she be okay or is it dangerous?

A small piece of raw bacon likely won't pose too big a risk. At worst, you may see some minor stomach upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea). Either can typically be managed at home with a short fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to the regular diet afterwards. Symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian include persistent stomach upset, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.

Ideally, she should be seen at the nearest veterinary ER. The doctors there can 8ndice vomiting via injection. This is most successful when done within 2 hours of ingestion. The bacon may cause stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea) or, more seriously, it can cause pancreatitis (due to the fat content). Pancreatitis is painful and can be life threatening if not treated promptly. If a vet visit is not possible, withhold food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. If there is stomach upset, feed bland until symptoms resolve then transition slowly to the regular diet. Symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian include lethargy, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.

This can cause pancreatitis in a small dog such as your Puppy. If he starts excessive vomiting and has a stomach ache then bring him in to your veterinarian immediately for treatment. Dogs are scavengers so he could be fine. I definitely would monitor him closely and seek veterinary care right away to prevent a serious problem if he seems ill. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Puppy.

Just turkey breast meat should be able to dissolve in the stomach without much trouble. Very large quantities of any food can be uncomfortable until they are digested. If there are bones in it, it could cause irritation to the gut as it travels. If there was fat in it, it could lead to pancreatitis a few hours up to a few days after ingestion. I would continue to monitor Lita's appetite and for vomiting and/or diarrhea. If anything is still of in a day or two, she should get checked out by a vet.

Naughty Copper! I'm sure he enjoyed it :) Bacon contains a lot of fat, so I would expect that he may have some mild stomach upset for the next day or so. There is a chance that he could develop a more serious problem called pancreatitis from eating so much bacon - if this happens, you will see symptoms such as repeated episodes of vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and sometimes bloody diarrhea. If any of these signs are seen, then you will need to take him to the vet right away for treatment.

Hello, thank you for your question about Dexter. Bacon grease is very high in fat and can be irritating to the stomach/GI tract. IF a large amount is eaten it can also lead to pancreatitis. Paper towels are usually digestable depending on the size of the dog and the number ingested. I would recommend continuing to monitor Dexter for any progression or worsening of the vomiting. You could offer Dexter a bland diet to help ease the potential discomfort in his GI tract. If Dexter becomes inappetant, continues to vomit, or develops diarrhea I would recommend having him seen by your veterinarian. They can perform an examination and determine the need for other diagnostics and treatments. Hope this helps, good luck!

There may be a small risk for Rocket to develop some minor stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea). If he is behaving normally otherwise, you can typically manage him at home with a short fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. If there are no symptoms after 24 hours post ingestion, then you will likely see nothing.
