My dog's belly is big and hard. Is it bloat or just overeating?

Question

How do I know if my dog has over eaten or is experiencing bloat? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | unneutered | 10 lbs

A bloat is a distended, firm abdomen. They can be very uncomfortable and restless and pant a lot. They may cry and get up and down. If he is unable to rest then you may need to see a vet to get him some relief until it all passes. If he is able to rest then it is best to take the food and water away and let him digest what he has eaten and only introduce small meals at a time for the next 24-48 hours
