My dog with pancreatitis ate bacon, gave peroxide, should I go to ER?

Oh my, poor Max has been through a lot lately! As you know, the butter ingestion could certainly exacerbate his pancreatitis. I don't personally recommend using hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting because more recent studies have shown that it causes damage to the linings of the esophagus, stomach and intestines in nearly all dogs that receive it. I'm glad that you've stopped giving the peroxide at this point. If he isn't vomiting after 8 tablespoons, it's unlikely that it will cause him to vomit at all. Since he's received so much peroxide and is now coughing, I would recommend taking him to the vet. Your vet may want to take some chest x-rays to be sure that Max didn't aspirate (inhale) anything, that could be causing his coughing. Likewise, they may need to prescribe antacids and medication to coat his esophagus and stomach to protect him against ulceration. As far as the butter and pancreatitis situation goes, time will tell. Your vet will likely recommend continuing a low fat or bland diet for a longer period of time than he would have otherwise needed and may also extend the course of any anti-nausea medications. Since the treatment for pancreatitis is supportive, his supportive care measure may just be extended longer. I hope this helps and that Max feels better soon!

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.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor guy! Pancreatitis can cause vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia and belly pain. It is a cause of vomiting and diarrhea but it isn't the only cause. Other causes are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, toxin ingestion, IBD, food allergy/intolerance or reaction to eating something outside or a new treat/food/people food. Since he has been low grade vomiting now for 2 days it is best to have him seen soon if it continues. It is encouraging that he is eating. I would be sure you fasted him for 12-24 hours then resume feeding with a very bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice. Make the meals very small. Only offer small amounts of water. If he is lethargic, won't eat and the vomiting continues even on a low grade scale he should be seen before the weekend. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best!

Oh no, poor Sophie! It is concerning that her vomit is turning pinkish, and that can be a sign of blood. Vomiting blood is very serious. I will give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps, but if her vomit continues to be pinkish or gets redder, you need to rush her into a vet immediately. In the future, do not feed her bacon. It's too high fat for dog and causes pancreatitis. It's never recommended to feed a dog bacon or any pork products. I hope this helps! Home remedy: 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 vomiting continues in the absence of food, 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.

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.

Fast him until tonight. Offer small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte throughout the day. Consider feeding him a bland diet in small, frequent amounts for the next few days then transition slowly to his regular diet afterwards. Monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Pancreatitis can present in many ways, the majority of which are nauseous and painful but not particularly weak and debilitated and respond favourably to symptomatic treatment and an ultra low fat diet. Severe pancreatitis is very rare and typically prevents with severe dehydration and collapse and can become life threatening, requiring hospital treatment
