Dog ate too much. Stomach bloated & soft. Is it bloat or indigestion?

Question

My dog niko has eaten a lot of food about 3-4 hours ago and then ate some of his dogs food a few hours ago, his stomach seems a bit bloated but it's soft. He seems a bit sleepy but if you call him he gets up and come with you. I don't know if he is suffering a bloat, he is not trying to vomit, he doesn't care if you touch his belly but he seems to be having some pain. PD: He is a bit fat. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 5 years old | 9.36 lbs

Small breed dogs don't get bloat. Bloat is a large breed deep chested dog disease, so you have nothing to worry about there. Also symptoms of bloat include vomiting (food and water), severe pain and agony in a lateral position. Niko likely has some indigestion and has from eating too much food in such a short amount time. Allow his stomach to settle by skipping his next meal and then you can feed him an easily digestible meal such as plain boiled chicken and rice or cottage cheese for a few days until he gets back to his normal self. Best wishes and take care of that fur baby. He should be back to his normal self in no time.
