Bella just ate half a jar of peanut butter! Should I worry????

[Sarah and Bella Kai]

I am an idiot and left the lid off. We are staying in a hotel at the moment and the desk is lower and she popped up and got it while I was gone. 

Should I worry? What should I watch for?

I remember when Boris ate a tub of margarine and F suggested I give him a chunk of bread. That's what I did (he will eat anything) and he was fine after. I hope Bella has no problems after eating all that PB, I would watch her though.

What should I watch for? A place to go in a hurry when she decides it's time to "go" - - hope all is well.

The concern would be an attack of acute pancreatitis. Peanut butter is extremely high in fat. Here's some good info on the symptoms of pancreatitis: http://www.doodlekisses.com/group/healthandmedicalissues/forum/topi...

Basically, you want to watch for loss of appetite, excessive lip licking, lip smacking or drooling, vomiting, lethargy, listlessness or lack of energy, or obvious signs of GI pain, like curling into a ball. 

Hopefully,she'll just have some diarrhea and will be fine.

Thank you all for the replies. Its so nice to have a place to come with the urgent questions.  

I kept an eye on her all night and of course she slept like a rock with no issues and now Im tired ;) She went to the bathroom just fine this morning, apparently large quantities of PB agree with her! But Im still gonna make sure to screw the lid on next time and keep an eye on everything today. :)

Thanks again!!!
