Help? I Think She Ate Too Much!

Brown rice is best, I think….

One night our new puppy got into the other dogs food. (we keep her in her crate so she eats only hers, and feed our 2 adults in their room, which is a room I built in the garage with dog doors so they can stay in there during the day.
She was so little we did not think she could get in there, but we turned our backs for a minute and decided she wanted to know where her buddies were and ate a bunch of their food. Her little belly was blown up like a balloon and she wanted to drink lots of water, but once she had a chance to eliminate it all she was fine.
Now we just keep her in the crate a littel longer to give everyone a chance to finish eating before we take it up. She has an unfair advantage since she has such a small amount to eat.

Nicky learned to open our refrigerator and before we bought a new one with a freezer drawer on the bottom so he can open it, he would open the fridge and help himself to roasts. On at least 3 occasions he helped himself to raw roasts, each one about 2 pounds. He would then spend the rest of the day laying on the bed with the occasional groan. He was usually back to his old self within about 24 hours. We would feed him less for a while after each incident.

LeeL - Daisy's belly was blown up too! She was also drinking a lot of water. (I took it away so she wouldn't explode!) It scared me for a while - but what a difference 24 hours makes.
lvoss - How did Nicky know a roast was in there? LOL
Wow - 2 pounds is A LOT of meat! Guess it was worth all the pain to him. :rolleyes: 3X -
I don't know how he knew what was in there but roasts are always what he went for.

Have you tried to get her to eat grass? It seems whenever our B has even the slightest upset stomach, he'll go outside, eat a couple blades of grass, and within 5 minutes, it's all coming up. (is this just something my boy does or do other dogs do this also? He taught our papillion how to do this too.)
-
Yes - Daisy eats grass and was eating grass that day, but nothing comes up. Matter of fact, she eats grass often, she chooses the longest blades - nothing . . . Good question: Why do dogs like to eat grass?

The time tested questions…. no one really knows.... there are many different ideas.....

I think they like greens sometimes. During different times of the year they seem interested in eating different parts of the plant. They only seem to throw up if they eat the type of grass that has that irritating scratchy feel when you rub it.

my dogs eat grass daily, and they rarely throw up. They have a certain kind of grass that grows around our veggie garden. We have tasted it to see what the attraction is…it tastes a little lemony

Probably lemon grass Andrea-yes there is such a thing!
-
Andrea-Any other stuff you taste for them :eek: :eek:…:D
Mine eat grass too! Most of the time they'll throw up with yellow bile.
