Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | spayed | 4 years and 1 month old | 18 lbs
My schnauzer had pancreatitis several years ago. I accidentally forgot that I left my spaghetti bowl on the end table and she ate some of the spaghetti. Will she be okay? She is totally healthy since the one and only pancreatitis episode.

Oh that was naughty of Snuggles to eat the spaghetti! Luckily, spaghetti itself isn't very fatty, but I would be concerned about the sauce used on it. Butter based sauces or sauces that contain garlic and onion can cause problems in her. Both onion and garlic are toxic to dogs, and if the spaghetti had garlic or onion in it, I would have her seen by a vet immediately for decontamination procedures to prevent toxicity from occurring. If it was just plain spaghetti, hopefully she should be ok.
