Bloat, which I believe is second only to cancer as it relates to dog deaths, is caused by a few things.....but heavy exercise after eating is way up there.

A question regarding bloat, food and exercise.
I did not supervise mealtime today <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> and Abby ate enough food for 6 dogs! She's suddenly all fat and chunky like an old spayed female that ate Purina its whole life.
She is deep-chested. How soon can I work her and when I do, should I be more concerned than usual about overexertion/heat stress?

I'm new to the board and have been browsing through some forums, and have learned and experianced a lot of this.
It has to do with GDV (Gastric dilatation Volvulus) or Bloat. It's basically, the stomch twisting 360 degrees and cutting off blood flow.
