Silly daughter didn't put the lid on properly and Twiglet is more like a tree trunk tonight! (She's 10 months old German wire haired pointer)
Not sure how much she ate but she is very full.
Will she be ok? She has gone out for a walk with hubby and still looked hoopefully at my dinner plate.....
 
Try and get some water in her as the food will take moisture. It will swell up but pass through very quickly and she will probably crap all over the place overnight! Mine have all done it and survived

Right, just don't let her get to energetic tonight and agree with OOTP, water is good.

I normally put a good hour between exercise and food anyway just to be on the safe side.

There is another post on bloat a few topics down, just keep an eye on her.
 
Thanks both, she had a walk on the lead and one poo. Like you we don't exercise after food anyhow.
She has constant access to water and we will leave her in the kitchen tonight so at least if she messes it will be easier to clean up!
Have read the thread re bloat, just praying it doesn't get stuck!
 
Thanks again, well PHEW!! We survived the night and she is bouncing and hungry this morning.
Hubby let her out at 3am and she had a poo then and another 2 this morning so we are well on the way to clear out I hope.
A lesson learned though........
 
Hello, i'm the Bloat post :-)
My labrador has raided said Bullmastiffs food in the past to the point that she can't eat anymore - actually looks like she's swallowed a large football.
She has managed to do this on 3 occasions - don't ask??!?! and not down to me.
I guess I've been lucky, but she's been fine and pood for England for 24 hours - i'm also guessing she gets belly ache as she lies out on her tummy and stretches.
I've also discussed it with the vet and his view is adverse symptoms are pretty quick if they are going to have a problem.
Regards Bloat, apparently it's generally a problem in very large breeds.
