My dog ate too much durian and got sick — what does recovery look like and how long should I monitor him?

Recovery depends on how sick he became. If he had vomiting or diarrhea from the high fat and sugar, your vet likely provided supportive care like fluids and a bland diet. You'll need to follow that diet plan at home, usually for a few days, and gradually transition back to his regular food. Monitor him for at least 24-48 hours after symptoms resolve for any return of stomach upset or signs of pancreatitis, like a hunched back or persistent vomiting. Keep all rich foods, including durian, completely out of reach in the future.
