Constipation?

Default Constipation?

I've recently adopted a new puppy (12 weeks old) from our local rescue
shelter. She's been fine, with no problems eating, etc, and she gets on

fine with my other pets and has had all her shots.


Yesterday she managed to get into the food bag, after she'd already
been fed, and ate a good deal before my roomate was able to get her
away from it. She was bloated and constipated after, which I can
understand because - hey, if I ate twice as much as I was supposed to,
or more, I would be too.


What I'm wondering is - should I worry? This is only my second dog, and

the first (now 8 months) I never had this experience with.

it *could* be serious (bloat--if that's the problem--can be
deadly) or it could be no big deal. if you can't tell, and
you're right with the dog, then it's unlikely that someone who
can't see and doesn't know the dog will be able to make a good
judgment call. the best thing you can do is contact your
vet.
