<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;color:navy'>Years and years ago my sister and b-in-l had a cat named
Pooh, who got crystals in his urinary tract very regularly, as neutered male
cats sometimes do. Science Diet came out with the first food for this but
it was canned and Pooh had to eat it but did not like it. Then a year or
two later Science Diet comes out with the first dry food for this problem, they
changed Pooh to it and he loved it. Well one day they bought a new 8
pound bag and sat it on the washer in the utility room, then left to go
somewhere. They came home about 4 hours later and found Pooh on the floor
in the middle of the dry food, he had knocked it off the washer and the bag
burst open and he ate almost half of an 8 pound bag of food. His belly
was so swollen that it looked like he was going to go into labor at any second,
and he was barely able to breathe. Long story short, vet said just watch
him, so he laid on the floor of the utility room for two days, then got up and
waddled to his box and did his business. No side effects from his
food-induced coma other than my sister never again left a bag of food out.
So my guess is your Dottie will be fine, just let her lay there and it will
slowly start to digest. Right now there's not enough room in her stomach
for it to be able to twist (bloat)!!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
