What to do

Why it is a problem
Raw bread dough rises in the warm stomach, which can cause painful bloating and, as yeast ferments, release alcohol that is absorbed into the blood. It can lead to dangerous stomach swelling and intoxication.
What a vet may do
A vet may monitor, induce vomiting if appropriate and provide supportive care. It is an emergency if the stomach looks swollen or your pet appears unwell.
How to prevent it
Prove dough in closed rooms or high places and never leave it on counters within reach.
