Dog eats Really old chicken

Question
Please help! My curious dog went to the abandon house behind mine today and found about a 3 month old rotten chicken that was uncooked and still in the package it was so rancid and she ripped it open and ate some. Can you tell me if she is in danger of anything or will she just not feel well I love her a lot and I need to know if I need to get her help? She is a two year old collie German Shepard mix she is allergic to all wheat products.

Answer
If this was my dog I would be pouring peroxide down her throat and making her vomit right away- AND I would be on the phone with my vet!! Give her about 1/2 cup straight hydrogen peroxide and make sure she swallows it, THEN CALL YOUR VET!!

Your dog could get all kinds of toxicities from this- from botulism to salmonella poisoning. ALL which could possibly be fatal.

I would call your VET right away!!
