pomeranian dog and eating pork question?

Question

my 1 year old pomeranian dog has been sick since saturday. he throws up some, then has diarreah with blood stools, sometimes just blood liver like stools. so we took him to the vet today. no pancreitis, possible stress colitis, or some kind of colitis. my boyfriend gave him a piece of chinese sweet and sour pork on friday and i am wondering if this could have caused it since pork does not go well with dogs. he took off the fried part and just gave him a small piece of the actual pork. so i didn't think that would hurt him, i have no idea what caused this but that is the one rare thing that stands out that i remember him eating before all this happened. what does pork usually do to a dog anyway? im sure chinese pork is probably different....probably much worse...anyone know anything about this, please leave me feedback answers, thank you.-curious owner

Answer 1

the poops...throwing up.. no pig means no sickness.. some dogs get sick form pork some don't just like ppl my hubby won't eat chicken cause it makes him sick. rule of thumb just don't give pork to the dog .. i give pig ears and big legs bones from the butcher but thats it

Answer 2

I remember being told that pork will make a dog sick. That's might be why you never see it in the ingredients of dog foods. I have 3 differnet brands of dog food and porks not listed on any. They have trouble digesting it. Now I've also read online where vets have said to feed cooked pork to the dogs. For your best answer call up your vet and get the right answer. Most of us aren't vets and I wouldn't put my animals life in the hands of people answering. I'm not listing a source sine the information I found was conflicting with each other.

Answer 3

my parents have a golden retriever who used to love pork products. They finally realized that whenever they gave her pork, that is when she was vomiting and getting bloody stools. The vet told them dogs should not eat pork products. Too hard on their stomachs. So I never feed my dogs any sort of pork.

Answer 4

Pork tends to cause pancreatitis and colitis in dogs due to the fact that they arent use to eating it. You said it wasnt pancreatitis so I am assuming bloodwork was already done, have you had any xrays take? 1 year old is the perfect age for intestinal obstruction.

Answer 5

There is a sign in my Vet's office saying that dogs should NEVER eat pork. Consult with your vet about this problem.

Answer 6

What I have learned working in a vet clinic is most of the time it is called gastroenteritious, it is like when we get an very upset stomach and we sit on the potty all day. but in dogs and cats it really tears them up. we take pepto and at the vet clinic they have pepto for dogs called amforal it works wonders but really keep your dogs away from people food. very bad for them. and i have 2 pomeranians myself.
