He is probably going to be alright. In rare cases he may get a bit of diarrhea or vomit. Make sure there is no more of that moldy dog food around as it can cause a tummy upset. Just observe Zeus and should he get diarrhea more than once or vomit more than once, take him to a veterinarian for an exam.
