Not sure about dogs but I just had a food emptying study done myself and according to the nurse my food should have started to digest by 3 hours after my meal. My system was so out of whack for several months...my food just sat there and kept me from getting hungry which explains the nausea and weight loss...can't eat...can't gain. You might want to call your vet and ask how it works with a dog. Is she going to the bathroom o.k? do you think she could have eaten something that may be causing a blockage? That would also possibly make her stomach feel hard. Is she keeping any liquids down? One more thing...it sounds like you're feeding her homecooked...are you sure her food was o.k?
