Why It's Dangerous

Raw dough containing yeast is dangerous in two ways: the dough continues to rise inside the warm stomach causing painful bloating and potentially life-threatening gastric dilation, and the fermenting yeast produces alcohol which is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Bloated or distended abdomen
  • Retching and vomiting
  • Disorientation
  • Weakness
  • Rapid breathing

Vet Guidance

Seek emergency veterinary care immediately. Gastric dilation can become fatal within hours.
