My dog ate too much liver. He's gassy with stomach noises. Is he okay?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Chinese Shar-Pei | Male | 21 lbs

My dad sadly passed a few days ago and I’ve taken on his shar pei , he’s not been eating properly as I assume he’s confused and missing my dad. So I decided to cook some liver for him. Thinking he could eat that, I’ve given him a pack tonight and he’s really gassey and I can hear his tummy making noises ! Will he be okay as I’ve just read now, too much is bad for them! I won’t give him any more but just concerned now

I'm very sorry your dad passed, please accept my condolences for your loss. Poor Duke. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps him. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the gas continues on the bland diet, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

    Poor Duke sounds like he sounds he has diarrhea and GI upset. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.

    Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Jeneau. Poor boy. He may have a stomach illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have intestinal worms causing this diarrhea. Make sure he's up to date on his deworming treatments, and I can give you a home remedy for the diarrhea to see if that helps. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
