My dog ate old canned pumpkin from the fridge. Will he get sick?

Without thinking I gave my dog a little bit of canned pumpkin that has Ben in the fridge in a plastic container for about 3 weeks. I just read that we should only keep it for about a week.... Will he be okay?

Hi, you can expect him to be sick or to have tremors and shakes if the pumpkin had any mould on it. If he is not himself, I would recommend to have him checked over. On his next meal I would offer him something bland like chicken and rice.Hope this helps !
