HELP I think Mocha has BLOAT Please please if anybody is online please help. Mocha ate some pickles she picked up off the floor. I think that caused her to VOMIT everything in her stomach. She ate the pickles about 5 hours ago. The vomiting and runs was about 2 hours ago. Since then she has drank a lot, and vomited some water, drank again and no vomit. It is 2 AM where I am and NO VETS are open 24 hours, NOBODY I could call. I have been googling bloat and she seems to be having many of the symptoms. Am I crazy, paranoid, or what?? I don't know what to do and my dog might be dying!! PLEASE HELP |

Bloat is most commonly a concern with large breeds. Sounds like she just has an upset stomach. I'm never heard of a dog vommiting and having bloat, because bloat is when the food expands and twists their intestines. If she's drinking water that's a good sign. All you can do is watch her very closely and call your Vet in the AM. You can get some pedialite, make sure she stays hydrated. I really don't think it's bloat. But that's just my opinion. I've personally NEVER heard of a little dog experiencing it. Offer a tiny amount of food or plain cooked chicken. If she's drinking water and her appetite returns then I would think she's just fine and has an upset tummy. |
I would give her a tsp of canned organic pumpkin (pumpkin will be the only ingredient). that always helps little Bailey! |

@erinlee 1. Her tummy is taut 2. Shallow breathing 3. Her gums are not red like usual. It's quite white 4. Drank excessively 5. Very weak I base the symptoms on this guide: Bloat in Dogs I don't know, I may be crazy. It seems crazy. She vomited ALL of the food she ate today so if it's the food expanding, how could it be when I'm pretty sure everything she ate is vomited? But her belly is VERY TIGHT. What else could cause these symptoms? I'm up for suggestions. She's never been like this. She's 2.5 years old. |

@chandracz She won't eat. I doubt I can get her to eat anything. I don't think food's a good idea at this point. Just my instinct. |

I just heard lots of gurgling from her tummy. Can this be bloat if I hear activity in her tummy? Mocha's 2.5 yo and weighs around 2.9 to 3.1 kg. |

I'm sure there are rare instances of small breeds experiencing this, but stastictically wise... it's just not very likely. I just read that it's more common in large breed males, who eat a large amount of dry kibble and exercise afterwards. Pickles are not dry... and if she vommited everything up then there can't really be anything left inside to expand. :confused: |
@chachi It is 2 AM. No vet is open. No vet I could call. NO VETS. And it is Idul Fitri, New Year's for muslims. My country celebrates it. I doubt anyone is open or in town. I don't know what to do. |
It could also be shes hungry because of the vommiting but you need to get her to the vet because of the white gums that is an emergency situation |
I don't think it's bloat (but that is possible). White gums do indicate that this is an emergency. I suppose all you can do is be waiting at the vet's when they open. i don't think feeding or watering is a good idea. |
Go with your gut, but if her gums are white that means she's dehydrated. :( Quote:
