ride it out, they'll be fine, be sure you punish them though, i'd take their mobile device away, at a minimum.

That said, you know your dog better than anyone. If Dex isn't acting right... you might wanna run him by the 24hr vet. Not cheap though. Took one of ours one night and it was like 800 bones. |

This is not a smart ass response... but call the vet if they arent much better in the morning.

Carlota, I love you babe but a football message board isn't the place to be going for advice when one of your pooches is retaining fluids to the point where he/she is swelling up.
Ride it out and hope for the best or go to a vet. |

It will clear up. My little ankle biters get into crap all the time, bloat up, and clear up in a day or two. It's not worth several benjamins going to a vet over overeating something designed for dogs to eat. Now, if they had ingested chocolate or antifreeze I might have a different opinion.

Speaking only from my own experience, I'd take them to the vet. Something similar happened to our old dog, for some reason my son decided to feed her when he got home from school, then my wife fed her again at her usual time when she got home from work about a half an hour later. She was never quite the same after that...threw up a lot and suddenly had problems with going to the bathroom in the house which she never did before. She had so many problems we put her down within six months of that happening. I'm not saying that's what caused it, but it sure seemed to be the beginning of the end for her. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

If the dog hasn't crapped by noon today, you can try a 1/4 dose of baby laxative. Have your carpet cleaner ready.

Yeah, I realize a football board is an odd place to seek dog advice, but Ive seen a whole lot weirder on here...
The problem with Dexter is the bloat is weighing heavy on his back, the same back he had surgery on a year and half ago. So, I think Im going to take him in this morning and get him an enema. Thanks for the responses thogh. And yes,Doxies are pretty much bulletproof.

Agreed. As I was getting ready to take him to to the Vet, he started wrestling with Diggity. So I just took them both for a walk to see if it would help move his bowels. He seems to be feeling better. thank god. Vet bills suck.

my lab wasn't putting pressure on her hind leg; vet suspected a partially torn ACL/MCL (I can't recall). anyway,.....without doing x-rays etc, the bill was still dang $150 for meds, and the visit etc. eeesh. Sucked even more by her telling us "just try to keep her off it; see if it'll heal on it's own". lol. although the alternative was to have surgery to repair it. Year later, my lab runs around and plays like nothing ever happened. |
