due to the grease in bacon, it does have potential to upset her stomach and cause pancreatitis. This causes vomiting and bloody diarrhea and can be very painful to her abdomen. I would try to feed her a bland diet such as chicken and rice for a few days and monitor for those symptoms. if they are noticed then I would get her seen right away as this often requires hospitalization with IV fluids.
