Ham is the #1 trigger of pancreatitis, along with bacon. From what you described he is being being fed, no wonder he is sick.
Some dogs are more predisposed to pancreatitis. A co-worker's Yorkie ended up at the emergency vet's on Thanksgiving when her dad gave Sugar one piece of ham. Whether you call it a sensitive stomach or not, you have to be very, very careful about everything that goes into his mouth. As Sandybabies said, pancreatitis can be fatal.
You need to educate your whole family about the risks of feeding him table food. If they can't be trusted, you need to shut him away during family visits that involve food for his own protection. |
