My dog ate rancid food. What should I do if he gets sick from it?

Dogs love to eat stinky stuff. You can take him to a veterinarian to have the vet make him regurgitate the rotten crab. You can also do nothing and just observe him. watch for diarrhea, vomiting or abdominal pain. If he happens to start vomiting or having diarrhea you can do the following: I would fast Frank for 12 hours and then put him 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 his regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea or if the vomiting increases, or if he gets lethargic, he needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.

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!

There are two things you can do: 1) nothing, just watch your dog for diarrhea and/or vomiting or paleness. If yoru dog vomits/gets diarrhea do the following: I would fast Bandit for 12 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 her regular food slowly over a few days. Should he get lethargic, and/or pale (check his gums), he needs to be seen by a vet as the rat may have died of rodenticide. OR 2) if your dog ate the rat within the past 90 minutes, take him to a vet to have him regurgitate the rat with a medication called apomorphine.

You can change his food to boiled chicken and rice as this is very bland. You can also get probiotics from any pet store to start. If he starts vomiting or has a decrease in appetite, or starts with bloody diarrhea, then he needs to be seen by your vet. If it continues past 48 hours with no improvement, then I would get him checked also

It's possible the bacteria from the chicken could cause Kipper some GI upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. Removing his regular food and feeding a bland meal of cooked and not-spoiled chicken and rice may help, however if he shows symptoms such as a tender abdomen, bloody vomiting or diarrhea, or diarrhea and vomiting that lasts for more than a day, veterinary care should be sought to treat any infection and illness caused by the spoiled food.

if the dog is still active I would recommend to monitor her (watch for activity level, appetite, water intake, vomiting and diarrhea) and keep her without food for about 12 hours, then introduce bland diet such as boiled chicken breast and rice. BUT if the vomiting continues despite all of this, or your dog seems to be becoming more depressed or listless, or the dog not eating then call your veterinarian or a local emergency hospital.

I would suggest fasting him for 12-24 hrs to allow him time to move the rice out of his system. You can still offer him water but don't force it. At the very least he may have some upset stomach issues (vomit and or diarrhea); however if he seems lethargic, not eating or excessive vomiting of food and water then it's best to have him seen by your local vet. Howver he likely will not have any major issues and will recover within a few days to a week. Best wishes with your pet and I hope everything works out well for him. Take care.
