My dog ate salami. Can it cause pancreatitis, and how serious is it?

Question

Is pancreatitis curable or life threatening? My friend give 2 slice of salami to his dog since many times and he give fresh salami raw one can that also cause pancreatitis or kidney damage ? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 3 years and 10 months old

It can be very severe and life threatening, but dogs can survive with intensive veterinary care. Once, I dropped a potato friend in oil (one small bit), and my dog got it before I could pick it up. She got pancreatitis from that little bit, so it's possible that salmi could do it as well. No, it does not cause kidney damage.
