Raw oats will be hard for your dog to digest, and you may see GI upset such as vomiting and diarrhea. There is also a concern of bloat if your dog ate a ton of food. Keep a close on your dog, and if you see a bloated abdomen, restlessness, pacing, excessive drooling, vomiting, trying to vomit but can't, or anorexia, have your dog seen by a vet immediately. Best of luck.
