I phoned the vet and the technician I spoke to said that I should watch carefully for any signs of lethargy, refusal to eat or drink. Since he is eating and drinking normally and seems fairly bright (willing to play, tail up, etc) to watch him closely but probably doesn't need to be seen unless I felt it necessary. I did mention the very light coloured poop and she just said it sounds like an upset tummy from eating something he shouldn't have. So I am to watch him for any change in behaviour and I can give him a bit of Pepto Bismol to help settle his stomach.
Thanks so much for the advice Connie; I knew there was something bad about rancid fat but didn't remember what it was; I hadn't thought of pancreatitis, so it's good to know what to look for.
P.S. It's also good to know I can always expect good, detailed poop-reports from my dog-watcher.
Great! I had to wait until this morning to see, which I guess is a good thing. His poo was perfect today.
And he played happily with his toy last night and didn't act sick at all. So, I would say he's back to normal but he did have me worried for a bit.
