Vet Question

[lfsmarineguy]

The GF left some salmon sushi out last night while she went to the kitchen for something and the puppy manuevered his way across some furniture and got most of it (even a chunk of wasabi). A quick google search showed that salmon carries a bacteria that is toxic to dogs but it takes 5-7 days to manifest symptoms. Is there anything we can do at this point or is it just wait and see? She was very upset last night and was assuming the worst, but how dire is it?

If you didn't already go, probalby too late to induce vomiting.

If you go to the vet, they won't be able to help you anyway since it's already digested.

The google search last night basically said that once contact is made, there's no point in inducing since it's a bacteria that's the problem.

Thanks Zany, that link was very helpful.

I wouldn't worry but certainly be more vigilant about clearing all the counters in the future.

we're very careful but the puppy has exploded in size this past month and he is almost like a cat with his parkour like furniture jumping. He's full on jumped from the couch to the coffee table (being completely airborne) without making any noise, to get at food before. He's like a little furry 5lb ninja. The other dog is completely trained and we can leave him with a plate of food on the floor next to him and he won't touch it until you tell him to.
