If Milo is resting and otherwise seems comfortable I would not worry about bloat. If you notice Milo seems uncomfortable, is panting or retching, and/or his abdomen seems distended or firm then he may be suffering from bloat. Keep an eye out for these symptoms and if you notice any of them I would recommend taking Milo to your vet immediately. If Milo does not want to eat tonight don't worry, he may just be overfull.
