My puppy ate expired raw meat from the garbage. What should I do?

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.

This can cause pancreatitis in a small dog such as your Puppy. If he starts excessive vomiting and has a stomach ache then bring him in to your veterinarian immediately for treatment. Dogs are scavengers so he could be fine. I definitely would monitor him closely and seek veterinary care right away to prevent a serious problem if he seems ill.

Ha ha that was deliberate of Hugo! You know he knocked the plate off so he could get the mince. The raw meat will likely cause some stomach upset. If you see vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or loss of appetite, have him seen by a vet.

Oh that's not good! I'd just watch Zoe for now. This meat could make her sick and give her symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and lethargy. If you see any of those signs, have her seen by a vet. I don't think she can handle eating meat that's been sitting outside for a month, that's pretty rotten, but you never know!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Zelda may not get sick from the pork. If the meat wasn't rancid or spoiled then she could digest it with out any issue. Raw pork can contain food born pathogens like toxoplasma, but signs of that may not develop for months. There is nothing you can do for that in the short term. If she just ate it you could contact your Vet to discuss inducing vomiting to remove the raw pork. We are unable to provide instructions on inducing vomiting. Otherwise I would just watch her. If she shows signs of vomiting or diarrhea I would fast her for 12-24 hours and feed a bland diet of boiled chicken breast or hamburger and mix with rice. Feed 1 cup per 20 lbs per day until 2 normal stools. I wish you the best!

Food poisoning type illnesses can occur following spoled food but generally healthy dogs may only show mild signs. I would recommend starting a probiotic and monitoring closely for any major intestinal signs requiring treatment

Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. Consider withholding food for the next 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. If Dexter develops stomach upset without any other symptoms, you can fast him then offer a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. If he becomes lethargic, stops eating or develops abdominal pain then he should be examined by your veterinarian.
