My dog overate, vomited, and has a swollen stomach. Should I worry?

Question

My dog accidentally overate just once yesterday. She has vomited after drinking water and she drinks a lot of water when she is at the water bucket. Her stomach is swollen, but she is lying on it and stills seems comfortable. Her stomach is sensitive (I have to carry her down the stairs, because she is blind.) Should I be worried and how ling should I keep her from eating if there is no reason for concern? Kind regards, Vicky. Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Female

If she hasn't vomited again and doesn't seem uncomfortable, you can try giving a 1/4 portion of food or even boiled chicken and rice to see how she handles it, and then gradually increase back to her normal meals. If she seems in distress and is very painful or bloated, or is trying to vomit/pass stool and can't, or begins to vomit a lot after eating, I would bring her into your vet right away for care.
