My pug went through the trash and got a hold of moldy cheese. Will she be okay ? I did end up giving her some more dog food since I thought she was hungry

At worst she will probably get some diarrhea or vomit a bit. Then again stinky stuff is sooooo attractive to dogs and usually they will not get harmed by eating it. Should she get some diarrhea, put her on boiled white rice with boiled white chicken for a day or two and then transition her back to her normal food.
