Monitor Your Dog’s Condition:
- Observe your dog closely for any symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or abdominal pain.
Call Your Veterinarian:
- Contact your veterinarian immediately, especially if your dog shows any symptoms. They will advise you on the next steps and may recommend bringing your dog in for an examination.
Determine the Ingredients of the Pork Loin:
- Check the packaging or ingredients list of the pork loin to identify any potential hazards. Raw pork can contain bacteria like Salmonella or Toxoplasma gondii.
Consider the Amount and Type of Pork Consumed:
- The size and quantity of pork consumed can affect the risk of illness. A small amount of well-cooked pork may be less concerning than a large amount of raw or undercooked meat.
Treatment Recommendations:
- Your veterinarian may recommend inducing vomiting if your dog ingested the pork recently. They may also prescribe antibiotics or other medications if necessary.
Preventive Measures:
- Keep all cooked and uncooked meat out of reach of your dog.
- Ensure your dog’s food and water bowls are clean and free of pathogens.
- If you suspect your dog has eaten something potentially harmful, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Additional Information:
- Raw pork contains a parasite called Trichinella spiralis that can cause trichinosis in humans and animals. However, it is uncommon in commercially produced pork in developed countries.
- Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) will kill most harmful bacteria.
