BELLA got into her food while at work what should i do? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Bella got into her food, I am not sure how much she ate, I am guessing maybe half a lb, and I am worried. her stomach is full and hard. She isn't acting lethargic and she has gone number 2 twice but I am worried about her! Does anyone have any advice, she is 5 lbs, and I think she ate half a lb of food but I can't be sure because we have had this bag for a little while now.

Not much help here but I'd say try to keep her activity restricted, watch her, and call your vet.

I would say keep a close watch on her, if you see any signs of fatigue, upset stomach or throwing up then i would def call her vet.

Don't let her drink a lot of water, it will make the kibble expand... and call your vet.

Update...

Called the vet they wanted me to bring her in... I had work so my boyfriend ended up driving an hour and half to come down, by the time he got here she went number 2 (the biggest he has ever seen come from her) and she started to come around. Woke up today and she is back to herself! Thanks guy, I am so happy... she is such a butt head for scaring me so much!

So glad to hear she is doing better....

Glad she is feeling better. These little guys can drive you crazy once in awhile with their eating. I have the opposite problem.

I have a heck of a time getting mine to eat more than a mouthful at a time, I leave at least a cup of dog food out at all times, and BOTH of them together don't eat that much in 3-4 days. I get on them many times a day to try to get them to eat. I switched them back to Wellness again and now seems like they hardly touch any food at all. They really liked Royal Canin better, but I know thats not a good food, soooooooo......but am now thinking........maybe I should switch back, at least I could get them to eat the RC. (Sort of) Ugh!!!

Glad she is ok. Cooper has done this a few times and she always gets an upset tummy as well as an upset mummy. I end up going for walks all through the night after this happens hoping to avoid a mess in the floor.
