Hi my dogs stomach blew up really big and she seems to be very sick right now. Do you think it's too late to take her to the vet. She seems as if she's dying and do you have any clue of what it could be?

This is a medical emergency and Boo has to see a vet now. She could have bloat or a pyometra. The only way to know if it's too later for her or not is to have her seen by a vet now. Even if it is too late, she should still see a vet now. She will be suffering, and it would be terrible to leave her in that condition. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
