Well, I'm worried about *all* that food being inside her, and that she hasn't gone poo yet. What concerns me is that, if she isn't just constipated - then it may be a blockage of some sort. If it's that, it can be life threatening - in no uncertain terms.

Dogs have very short digestive systems, so that's why they usually stay fairly regular. While it's not too surprising her system is a little off, this is pretty excessive. And, at this point - getting dangerous (or at the very least, no longer something to "mess with" - you know?).

I think I would feed very little at this point, but give water. To encourage water, take a small bowl of water and add some karo or honey to sweeten it - she may drink more that way.

So has she eaten even more today? Poor thing...
