Hello! It sounds like your pup had quite the feast! While chicken on its own can be a tasty treat, it's important to be cautious with spicy dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala. The spices and rich ingredients can be a bit hard on a dog's stomach. Here’s what you might expect and what to watch out for:
**Potential Causes & Concerns:**
1. **Gastrointestinal Upset:** The spices and cream in the dish might cause mild symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea.
2. **Pancreatitis Risk:** Rich and fatty foods can sometimes lead to inflammation of the pancreas, especially in breeds prone to this condition.
**At-Home Care Tips:**
- Offer plenty of fresh water to help flush out any excess salt or spices.
- Skip the next meal to allow their stomach to settle, then provide a bland diet (like boiled chicken and rice) for the next few meals.
**Signs to Watch For:**
- Persistent vomiting or diarrhea lasting more than 24 hours
- Lethargy or unusual tiredness
- Signs of abdominal pain, like whining or unwillingness to move
If any of these symptoms occur or you're simply unsure, it would be wise to have a vet check things out. Please consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can give your furry friend the best care possible!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
