If Duchess has GDV, she could have passed away by now. A GDV is a medical emergency, and it is fatal without immediate treatment. It is concerning that she has a bloated stomach that has been occurring for a couple of weeks now. I would take her into a vet this weekend to have it checked out. Best of luck.
