My dog licked cat poop and then ate grass. Will my dog be sick?

Oh dear! It's very common for dogs to do this, unfortunately - most of them love cat poop, and will eat it any chance they get. The good news is, it rarely causes any problems apart from some mild stomach upset as long as he only ate a small amount. If he ingested a large amount of cat litter, there is a chance that this could cause an obstruction in his intestines - this is unusual in my experience, but can happen in dogs who consume really large amounts. Signs of this problem would include repeated episodes of vomiting, not wanting to eat, and not having bowel movements. If you notice any of these issues over the next day or two, then I would recommend taking Marcellus to the vet right away to be checked. But as long as he is eating fine and acting normal, you shouldn't need to worry.

There is very little you can do other than watch your dog for a few days. Should she get diarrhea, then I would take her to a veterinarian for an exam. There are not that many types of bacteria that your dog can pick up from that and get diarrhea herself.

Because we do not know what the other animal was vomiting it is always possible that they could become ill (for example if the other animal had ingested a toxin or had a virus). That being said, there isn't really anything you can do right now for your dog other than monitor him closely. If he begins acting lethargic/weak, has vomiting or diarrhea or anorexia, or begins having trembling/muscle tremors or acting drunk/ataxic, then I would recommend seeking veterinary care. Luckily most of the time, however, dogs do not get ill in a situation such as this.

While it is not great that your dog ate poop, many dogs do so and survive! If your dog's vaccinations are up to date then it is unlikely he will catch one of the nasty viral diseases such as parvo from it. He may pick up intestinal parasites. But I would not worry so much about it and certainly would not kiss him now!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is unlikely to become an issue. I would just monitor him for any signs of illness such as inappetence, vomiting, diarrhea and/or lethargy. If any of these are observed, have him evaluated by a veterinarian. Otherwise, he will likely be just fine. Good luck and have a good night!

As long as you didn't handle the poop, you will be fine. It just sounds like the poop upset Cody's stomach, and many dogs eat cat poop without getting toxo. Since he's fine now, I'd just watch him. If he starts vomiting again, have him seen by a vet. Best of luck.

Slugs are not toxic dogs, so there is not much to worry about with him licking the guts. It may not be the cleanest source of food, but dogs are quite resilient to eating dead and rotting things, so there is little chance of this causing a digestive upset. There are also some cases where slugs can have certain worms that can be transmitted to dogs, but this is not common and unlikely to be transmitted this way. Overall, I would not worry and would only mention this to your vet if she happens to have any signs of illness in the next week or two. I hope that helps and all is well with Rogue.
