Looks as though she's eiter pregnant, or she has a turned stomach (bloat). I'd take her to the Vet. quickly.

I cant tell but that could be bloat. That's an emergency! Go with your gut, if you're worried..get to the vet immediately, call on the way and tell them you're bringing in a suspected bloat case so they can be ready when you get there. Good luck, let us know whats up.

Could possibly be a "False Pregnancy",,just a hormonal screw-up. see a vet...

It only takes 2-3 Hours for Bloat to start showing "Depending on How tight the Obstruction it is" 12 hours once it starts to show is almost to late for the dog .. Just lost a Bloodhound 2 months ago to it..

Alot of Pain after 4 hours !!

Could be a false pregnancy or bloat. Doesn't look like my dog did when he had bloat, though. I'd need a shot of her from above, looking on her back. Timber looked like he ate a watermelon, walked hunched up & was dead within 2 hours after I found him this way. I wouldn't mess around, time for a trip to the vet. Your right though, she doesn't seem 100%.

I sure hope she's ok, but it does look like bloat. Please let us know how she's doing.

Think of it this way, you did the right thing by seeing a Dr. Paying the money for the vet at least got you peace of mind right? Now you know your hound is healthy..and that's priceless. When animals are in our care, we owe them the very best of what we can do..sometimes it seems like wasted money but it's really not. All part of having animals. I'm glad she's ok and that it's not bloat.

she is MY BABY, my dog's are part of the family, sorry that you dont care about your dogs as much as i do, im also 16! i get attached to my dogs, sorry that im a female and it HAPPENS!!


any by the way, she CAN FIT IN HER DOG HOUSE AND DOG BOX!! also, she is kicking A$$ in shows, even for being fat!!

this is her, a month ago, so how well am i doing w/ her diet? my parents say that she isnt fat and when im working THEY feed her, to much, so im NOT COMPLETELY at fault


and i dont care that you think MY DOG is fat, that is why she is MY DOG not YOURS!

6 people posted before you and said bloat or being pregnet
and i am sure they saw that the dog is fat i also know that liz knows the dog is fat she is working with the dog
you said take her hunting and dont waist her in that lot
that is what got me to post on here why would you tell someone something like that so i also believe when you said at least my dogs fit in there dog house and dog box you where trying to acommplish ?
i will repeat that i dont have a problem with you calling the dog fat it was the other no brained stuff you said
