Bloating

[slleipnir]

She seems fine today...I'm not sure if I should bother with the vet. She hasn't had a bowel movement today, I don't think. Well, my dad lets them out before I get up, so maybe she did. She doesn't seem to be very bloated today. Not like yesterday anyway. She may still be a little. If it were bloat, would she have shown the signs by now?? I first noticed it around 8 or 9 last night, and it's now 12pm

Well, if it were my dogs, I would run them by the vet just to be sure. Bloat ( GVD) is a very serious problem. If nothing else- a trip to the vet is worth the ease on the mind in worry.

Zeke has his annual vet appt today...maybe I'll take her too and ask for a quick look.

I believe bloat kills dog within hours. I doubt it's bloat from the way
you describe her actions. maybe upset stomach or gas, but not bloat.
You should have your Vet give the final answer.

Have you been to the vet yet? ANy updates?
Fingers & paws are crossed here.

I think she probably just had a lot of gas, which can cause the stomach to bloat. She probably just got into something when you were not looking, or someone gave her too much or just the "wrong" treats or table scraps that didn't agree with her stomach.

Granted it is good that you were so serious & concerned as bloat is a very serious illness & should be monitored very closely, and of course the symptom of a bloated stomach is one of the signs of bloat.
