My dog ate garbage, has a bloated belly. What symptoms to watch?

Question

My pet has extended abdomen. Got into garbage today. Most left over fries and burgers from weekend. Ate dinner normally today, drinks water. Pooped. No vomit. Otherwise acting normal. Would there be additional symptoms with extended abdomen if something was wrong ?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Poor pup. Yes, if he had something like bloat, you would see pacing, restlessness, excessive drooling, and attempting to vomit but unable to do. If he had something like pancreatitis, which can happen when a dog eats fatty food, you would see abdominal pain, hunched over position, and vomiting. If you see any of those signs, have him seen by a vet immediately. Best of luck.
