My dog ate expired raw pork. What should I do if she gets sick?

The problem with raw chicken and raw pork is that they may be contaminated with certain detrimental bacteria. So monitor your dog for diarrhea and vomiting. Should this occur you can try the following: I would fast Alley for 24 hours and then put her on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea or if the vomiting increases, or if your dog gets lethargic, it needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.

Good Evening...thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Well, it looks like Amara just ate part of your dinner...bad doggie! Amara should be just fine. :-) From the picture, it does not look as though the pork chops contain bones. She may experience GI upset as a result, and this could include vomiting once or a loose stool for a day or two. As long as Amara is not vomiting persistently (more than 2-3 times in a 24 hour period), her appetite continues to be good, and she does not develop bloody diarrhea or diarrhea that persists more than a couple days you should be in the clear...

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yuck! Well if Maxie ate any of it she will likely vomit. If she is acting fine I wouldn't worry. If she vomits fast her for 12 hours and start a bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice. Feed 1 cup per 20 lbs per day for 3-5 days. He will not be the first nor the last dog to eat a rotten carcass or meat. I wish you the best!

That's hard to say at this point. It's unusual that she vomited up the meat after 2 days. The canine stomach should empty within 4 hours so that would be extremely delayed. Based upon that, I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian. The vet can listen and make sure her gut is making normal sounds. They will ask you many questions about her daily activities to determine if any ongoing illness is present. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hello. There should be no medical problems with the raw meat, although Leia may not be interested in eating for a while. It is also possible that she could throw this up as it is a rather large amount to eat in one sitting. Otherwise, she should be just fine. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I’m not panicking about Scar and I don’t think you need to rush to the ER. But here’s a couple things to watch for. My main concerns for Scar are gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines) and less likely, an infection like campylobacter. Gastroenteritis is marked by a small number of vomiting episodes followed by a few days of diarrhea. Pretty much as soon as the vomiting is done, Scar should be acting like herself (happy, active). She should be eating normally by 12 hours after the vomiting stops. If/when the diarrhea comes, that should be the only sign- no lethargy, loss of appetite, etc. This all usually takes care of itself in 2-4 days. An infection from the raw meat could be a bit more serious. Vomiting or diarrhea may be more profuse, she may not want to eat for an extended period of time, may have a fever or noticable lethargy. If you’re seeing this, it’s time to head to the vet for fluids and medications to help with the nausea and diarrhea. And of course, some dogs surprise me and have no signs at all. Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Scar!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Yoshi. Poor girl. I'd keep an eye on her for signs of GI upset. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or anorexia, then I would have her seen by a vet. Otherwise, she should be ok. I hope this helps!
