My dog ate prosciutto. Is it dangerous? Should I call the vet?

He should be fine. Prosciutto may have upset his tummy a little since he is not used to eating that. Vomiting may have caused him to be stressed and cause his heart rate to increase. I would continue to watch him carefully. If he is continuing to vomit, starts having diarrhea, lethargic or refusing to eat then I would have your vet take a look at him. I worry with him being so little that he could become dehydrated or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) really quickly. Your vet will be able to determine if the vomiting is due to the meat or other possible causes like worms or a viral infection. Your vet will also be able to give him some medicine to help settle his tummy. Also, if he wont eat for you or hasn't eaten anything else this morning, I would give him a little Karo syrup or honey on his gums to ensure his blood sugar doesn't get too low. I hope this helps and he starts to feel better!

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.

It can be very severe and life threatening, but dogs can survive with intensive veterinary care. Once, I dropped a potato friend in oil (one small bit), and my dog got it before I could pick it up. She got pancreatitis from that little bit, so it's possible that salmi could do it as well. No, it does not cause kidney damage.

No you don’t need to take him to the vet right now. If he start acting lethargic, stops eating, or starts vomiting or having diarrhea, then yes I would take him to your vet then. Your vet will be able to get him started on something to help settle his tummy and make him feel better. I agree that ham isn’t the best thing to feed them, but some dogs will eat a little bit and not have a problem. Just watch him closely. I hope this helps!

There is the potential the pork fat could make Charlie sick, and it could cause him pancreatitis again. I would monitor him and if you do see signs of pancreatitis, take him into a vet immediately. You could take him into a vet now to have vomiting induced to get the fat out so there won't be any problems. Best of luck.

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.

I am sorry to hear about your concern for Jack. Some dogs can ingest an item like this with no problems, but dogs with a more sensitive GI tract may experience vomiting and diarrhea, and in rare cases may develop pancreatitis. You can read about how to manage vomiting/diarrhea at https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951323 if the vomiting persists, your dog becomes painful or lethargic then a visit to the vet is recommended.
