Her system is probably SO messed up from whatever you gave her, she may be in the beginning of a Pancreatis attach. She can DIE from eating FATTY FOODS!!!!!!
I am not surprised she has/had diarrhea and has a bad smell coming from her. I strongly suggest that she see the vet ASAP so he can run the blood work to see what condition her Pancrea and Liver are in, probably not very good.
Don't mean to offend, but I almost lost a Yorkie to this and I know it was from giving him table food we almost LOVED him to death by giving him our food.... PLEASE for the dogs health only give a high quality DOG FOOD... it is easier for them to digest and has all the nutrients a healthy pup needs.
I hopw you will take her to the vet and let us know what he had to say.
GOOD LUCK, you might need it for your baby........

Sharon,
I do give Meg a very, very high-quality food (The Honest Kitchen) and I do not normally give her
any fatty foods. She did get some ham - a small amount, I should add - on Easter. At that point I didn't know that it could bring on a pancreatitis attack, and when I read about that the next day on YT, I obviously decided that she will never get food like that again! I know you are speaking out of concern and I appreciate you posting, but this was a one-time thing and I do normally feed her a very high quality food. Your post seems a bit harsh, but I guess that is okay since you are probably assuming that she eats like this regularly.
Meg had (
not has) diarrhea once after she ate the food, and she's been eating normally enough since with no throwing up, no yellow poop, no distention in the stomach, etc. I don't think that eating such a small portion of ham
once - we're literally talking about a few small bite sized pieces - is enough to throw her into the serious stages of pancreatitis, but of course I will keep an eye on her. She has a vet appt on Friday to get her Rabies shot, so I might ask them to run blood work then just to see where she is at. What sort of blood work should I ask them to do? If I am not very specific and direct with my vet, she won't do the tests I need.
Oh, and before you go off on yelling at me to get a new vet, I'll let you know that there is ONE English-speaking vet in my area of Korea, so I have to work with what I have.
