Eating too much can lead to food bloat, or even a life-threatening condition called gastric dilation-volvulus. GDV essentially means your puppy has eaten himself sick and is in danger of suffering from a twisted stomach.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_puppy_bloat_go_away_on_its_own\"><\/span>Can puppy bloat go away on its own?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This simple bloating can occur on its own and may resolve on its own. According to Maureen Luschini, VMD, DACVECC, a board-certified specialist in veterinary emergency and critical care, bloat without twisting can still be life threatening but risk depends on the severity and duration.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_dog_sleep_if_they_have_bloat\"><\/span>Can a dog sleep if they have bloat?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Signs and Symptoms<\/p>\n<p>The most common signs of bloat are an abdomen that appears swollen, excessive drooling, panting, fatigue without being able to sleep, and trying to vomit without actually being able to produce any vomit.

In most cases of bloat the gas can actually shift after about 30 minutes. Try slowly walking your dog on the lead or gently massaging his belly to relieve some of the pressure. It&#8217;s a great sign if you hear him belch or break wind because it means that the gas is leaving his stomach!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S0lFDODDfBM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents What happens if you overfeed a puppy?How do you tell if you are overfeeding your puppy?How do I know if I overfed my puppy?What happens if your puppy eats too much?How do you treat an overfed puppy?What happens if a puppy is overfed?How do you treat an overfed puppy?Can a puppy get&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":194137,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"default","_kad_post_title":"default","_kad_post_layout":"default","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"default","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"default","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[619],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/What-happens-if-you-overfeed-a-puppy.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97994"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97994"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":194138,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97994\/revisions\/194138"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
