My elderly Shih Tzu ate a banana and peel. Will she be okay?

Question

My elderly Shih Tzu found a discarded banana and ate half of it, along with about 1/4 of the peel. She only has a few teeth. Will she be ok? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | spayed | 12 years and 8 months old | 9.5 lbs

She may have some diarrhoea or vomiting due to the fact that the banana could have been partially rotten. Other than that she should be fine. I would recommend to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if you notice diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
