My dog ate a greasy fast food burger and now has diarrhea. Help!

Question

My 4 year-old Pomeranian just ate my leftover McDonald's sausage burger. He ate a little over a half of it when I accidentally left it with him in the car. In the evening, he had to go twice with wet stools (diarrhea I guess). He was eating fine before the diarrhea. I am still observing him now. Any advice please? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | 12 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ryker. High fat human food can result in pancreatitis in a dog. This is indicated by vomiting and diarrhea and can make a dog critically ill. General gastrointestinal upset can also result from the human food ingestion. If his diarrhea gets worse, he begins to vomit and becomes lethargic, then he will need to see his veterinarian as I worry he has developed pancreatitis. I hope this information helps!
