over eating

Question
my dog got into her food when i was at work she is a red nose pit bull and her stomach is quite bloated what should i be watching for

Answer
Hi Tabatha,

Your dog's stomach is bloated because she over ate, as yours might be if you ate too much, too.

It wouldn't be shocking if she has a little diarrhea or even vomits.
It's safe to give her Pepto-Bismol regular strength chewable tablets to treat vomiting and diarrhea caused by "dietary indiscretions" as it soothes the stomach and intestinal lining. Give 1/4 tablet for every 20 pounds of weight, every 6-8 hours by mouth. Treatment should only be needed for 1-2 days. If diarrhea persists or worsens, or if she vomits more than a few times contact your veterinarian.

Your dog might have a tummy ache simply because of the volume of food she ate, but aside from that her discomfort should pass within a day. Give her more opportunities to go outside than you usually do, she may have to go.
Don't be surprised if she doesn't feel like eating her breakfast.

I hope I've been a help.
Best of luck,

Patti
