My dog ate wasabi almonds. Is it an emergency with IBD/pancreatitis?

Question

My 20 lb dog just ate less than an ounce of wasabi almonds. He has IBD and had acute pancreatitis 5 months ago. Should I contact emergency vet? Pet's info: Dog | Bichon Frise | Male | 5 years and 11 months old | 20 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While almonds are great snacks for humans, they are very rich for dogs and may result in gastrointestinal upset. Wasabi can also upset their belly. I am concerned that if he suffers from a chronic history of pancreatitis, he may develop this from eating fatty items like almonds. I recommend that you monitor Quigley closely for any evidence of gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, diarrhea and/or inappetence. if any of these signs are observed, have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, he may be ok. Good luck and have a good night!
