Blondy

Blondy's stomach is really bloated, she keep stretching and adjusting as if she can't get comfortable? Any suggestions?

Awwww hope she feels better soon!

Sorry to hear she is not feeling well. I dont know much about it but isnt there something called 'bloat' they can get?

worms maybe my dog had the same thing. she had tapeworm i fink apprently, te vet said it was a flea off a horse lol

no she doesn't have worms or fleas, I don't know about the bloat thing, not all of it fits, she's sleeping now but her stomach is really tight, she has ate and drunk.

Don't feed again until it's gone down. Try and take her for a short walk she needs to pass poo. Keep a really close eye on her and don't let her get hyper. If she starts panting heavily and pacing with lots of drool and gagging bu no vomit take her to the emergency vets. She's probably just ate too much but Watxh her poop incase she's ate something she shouldn't have!

Claire, this is very important. Not all of the bloat symptoms may be there, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have it. She might also have eaten something that is stuck - it could cause a blockage.

If she stops eating/drinking or can't poo or starts to retch without bringing anything up, then go to the vet - any vet - asap.

hope she's ok,how she doing?

I dont know just a guess but could she have some trapped wind as we sometimes get when feeling bloated.

Would a very small walk help??

I found this and posted a whila ago as I looked into it because I'd never heard of bloat before, don't want to scare you but always better safe than sorry

I took her for a short walk and she had nearly half a dozen toilets other than being extremely smelly tonight, she is fine now. Thanks anyways guys, I had a lift on hold incase it would be emergency vets tonight but she's fine.

Great news thanks for the update

She possibly ate something that was off or upset her, hence the diarrhoea, was she eating grass beforehand ? If it keeps recurring, see the vet. Glad Blondy is better.

All she ate was food, I keep an eye on my lot while out and they don't eat thing off the floor not even grass hardly it wasn't diarrhea when she went only a little loose.

Glad she is okay, worries you sick when something is up with your dog, especially when they cant tell you whats the matter

glad she is ok and on the mend
