Ham is safe. At most it would cause an upset stomach, which could cause vomiting and/or diarrhea, but nothing serious. It's unlikely that buster will have any issues due to this, so no need to do anything drastic. It must have been a great Thanksgiving snack for him though. I hope that helps and happy Thanksgiving!
