I'm glad he's doing better...
I do know that just eating a ton of kibble followed by a lot of water can mess up any dog's digestion. The kibble is dry, so it will absorb fluids from the intestines, then when a bunch of water is added, it can swell to 2-3 times it's normal size. So he may have had a mix of too wet and too dry kibble trying to get through his system, and trouble digesting it all, which could cause excess gas and belching. Just having too much in his tummy could cause the reflux and inappetance.
I've seen this happen when big dogs get into a bag of food, they eat till they can't eat anymore, and with the dry kibble, it makes them thirsty so they drink a ton of water. It can also cause them to bloat. |
