My dog ate pork taco filling. Is gas normal, or is it serious?

Question

My pitbull 2 yrs old got into pork taco filling. And ate most of it 3-4/cups. She's passing gas but no vomit yet. What fo I need to look out for if its serious?

The problem with it is the presence of onion or garlic which can cause intoxication. I would recommend a check up if that is the case as signs can be subtle and be evident even after 24-48hours. If not present, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then 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 the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
