My dog just ate some raw meat. What am i supposed to do?

Question

I guess it wasn't really like chunks, but last night we had barbaque, and the plate was left outside overnight and he got into that and started licking it and stuff. so it was pretty old.

Answer 1

Nothing he isn't going to die. He may vomit because sometimes fresh raw meat is a little too rich, but he'll be fine.

Answer 2

Nothing is going to happen as far as the meat goes.There probably wasn"t that much from one plate any way. Two things....he might get a little dihareah and he is going to pass some smelly gas.Dogs originally ate meat...as wolves and then he started living with man and the diet slowly changed. Dogs will even go bury raw meat or raw bones and when they finally decide to go find them they can be rather putrid...but they love it...and roll in it to cover there scent just like wolves use to. Worm will certainly be on that meat then. Wolves were free...when they got worms or parisites they instinctivly knew what grass or herbs to go find and eat to get rid of them. Dogs are not free to do this. Don't give your dog cooked bones as they can be quite brittle and can get caught in swallowing them or damage the stomach or intestines....then its off to the vet and comming up with the cash for him.

Answer 3

Absolutely nothing to worry about. What do dogs eat in the wild? Raw meat. If he only ate raw meat I can't imagine any reason for him to experience any problems. Dogs eat much worse things than that. Raw meat is the best food for dogs anyways.
Wolves, lions, tigers, and lots of other animals eat large quantities of raw meat on a daily basis. No worries.

Answer 4

Cheer? That's what all my dogs eat every single day. It's what all dogs ate 80 years ago back before the people food manufacturers started marketing their leftover by-products as dog food. The whole "never feed people food!" thing began as a marketing ploy by the kibble companies and continues today in the guise of "public service messages" sponsored by Iams and Purina and others.

Dogs lick their butts and eat dead things off the road and all sorts of other things we would never do. They're digestive systems are built very differently from ours, so we can't compare what's safe for us to eat with what is safe for them to eat. They're tough!

Answer 5

A dog is a carnivore. They are supposed to eat raw meat. As long as the meat wasn't rotten there is nothing to worry about. He may has an upset stomach because he isn't used to eating raw food, but nothing else.

Answer 6

It doesnt matter even if it was spoiled. Wolves will eat meat that is very rotten as will coyotes and stray homeless dogs and they dont get sick. My mother had a mastiff on a farm and she would find the nastiest, stinkiest, rotten roadkill she could find and eat it and roll in it and bring some home for later. Mum would just keep her worming up to date and the dog was fine for 13 years (which is good for a mastiff)

Answer 7

your dog will be fine as long as he is not throwing up your pretty much in the clear, but ive heard that dogs can become aggresive after eating raw meat so keep an extra close eye on the dog around anyone it could possible harm.

Answer 8

I heard on radio that it's better and more natural for dogs to eat raw food meat that is. I heard that they will only eat so much and not gluttonize the food as they do with cooked food.

Answer 9

Lay down and prepare to die....once they get the taste of raw meat, you're toast. LOL

Just kidding. There is not a problem with it...just don't make a habit of letting him do it. There are germs in raw meats and the risk of worms. I would give him a worming medicine to rule out any risk of tape worm or other worms from uncooked meat.

Dont worry...

Answer 10

Well if it was fit for human consumption then probably nothing will happen. But if it was rancid you might want to watch the dog for a couple of days. Or if it makes you feel better knowing, call your vet and tell them what happened.
