quick question! Had a BBQ and got some leftover fried fish. Can I share a bit with Bella, or should I just enjoy it myself? Not sure if this is dumb or if I'm overthinking it.

Hey there! It's great that you're thinking about Bella's health. Fried fish isn't the best treat for her due to the high fat content and possible seasoning that could upset her tummy. Dogs can be sensitive to both, which might lead to digestive issues like vomiting or diarrhea.

If Bella happens to get a small bite, here’s what to watch out for:

• Upset stomach symptoms: vomiting, diarrhea, or decreased appetite.
• Signs of pancreatitis: severe vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or lethargy. These are more serious and require a vet's attention.

It's not an emergency if she just eats a little, but if she overdoes it or if symptoms persist, definitely give your vet a call. Keep an eye on her, and if she seems a little off, you can try giving her a bland diet like boiled chicken and rice to soothe her stomach.

Always steer clear of any fish bones, as they can be a choking hazard or cause injury. If she’s showing severe symptoms like constant vomiting, extreme lethargy, or signs of pain, it's time to contact your vet immediately.

If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
