My dog ate pizza, now has bloody diarrhea. Is it an emergency?

Question

My mother’s minitire pinscher stole and inhaled a small dominos pizza. Her stomach bloated and she puked a few times. It is 2 days later and the vomiting has stoped yesterday but she is passing bloody, watery, stool. She is acting herself and still has an appetite. Should she be taken to the hospital since the vets are closed today? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Pinscher | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 16 lbs

Thank for submitting your question regarding Zarah. Yes, I would recommend that she sees an emergency veterinarian today. I am concerned that she may have pancreatitis. This is an inflammation of the pancreas triggered by high fat food. Typical signs are vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Most dogs recover well with treatment, but others can become very ill. For this reason, you would not want to wait another day for your veterinarian to open. She is likely dehydrated from the vomiting and diarrhea as well. The blood in the stool is likely the result of inflammation in the colon, but needs to be treated. I hope this information helps and she is able to receive treatment soon. Good luck!
