My dog ate cookie dough and is sick. Is it pancreatitis or poisoning?

Question

I fed my moms 27 pound Boston terrier a teaspoon of raw sugar cookie dough on Easter and it has been throwing up since and the doctor said he might have pancreatitis. He hasn't been eating much until yesterday he had a little chicken. Could I have poisoned him with that? Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Male | neutered | 30 lbs

Yes. Unfortunately cookie dough is not good for dogs. He could have pancreatitis but he could also have salmonella. If the dough had chocolate chips those can also be toxic to dogs. You need to get him back to the vet for treatment - both pancreatitis and salmonella can be deadly if left untreated. Pancreatitis can also cause permanent damage to the pancreas making this a lifelong condition. I highly recommend you not feed him anything but food made for dogs in the future. Best wishes.
