Her pancreas could still be inflamed and she might need to be taken off of all foods and put on ivs until it heals. It could also be that she does have parvo and the ribs were just a coincidence. Even vaccinated dogs can get parvo.
I know you've learned your lesson about the harm just a bit of people food can cause (pork ribs is probably one of the most dangerous). Hope others can learn from you and only give dog food to their babies. White rice and chicken is good and safe for digestional upsets, but will lead to nutritional deficiencies if that is all that is fed on a regular basis. |
EXCELLENT post - you always have the best advise....
I found out 10 years ago about pork when my husband and I gave it to one of his cockers - she didn't get sick from it and certainly no blood or I'd have freaked - but she did have problems going to the bathroom ...once I got on the net and found out about how BAD pork is I try to pass it along but many people just don't know -
the good thing about the net is we can look BEFORE feeding them now - if something is questionable - there is always a website that will tell you - or right here on this site too -
