Hey there! So don't worry too much about Bella snagging a bit of salami. Overall, a small piece likely won't harm her, but there are a few things you might want to keep an eye on.
Salami is quite salty and fatty, which can sometimes lead to tummy troubles for dogs. Here's what to look out for:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Excessive drooling or thirst
- Lethargy or any signs she's uncomfortable
If Bella's showing any of these symptoms, offer her plenty of fresh water and make sure she gets a chance to go outside if needed. Usually, these symptoms are mild and will pass without needing a vet visit.
But if Bella is vomiting severely, seems very lethargic, or you're just worried, definitely give your vet a call. While one piece of salami isn't likely to be a big problem, ongoing vomiting or not drinking and peeing are signs to get her checked out.
Remember, 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.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
