Answer

Hi again:

I just wanted to let you know that I misread your statement on the distention and editied my answer but you had viewed it at the same time so I am going to post the edited version below for you:

I would worry a bit about the condition called bloat if she was distended. I do worry about a blockage of the GI tract. Given the molasses and the amount she ate, an obstruction is possible. If this happened a bit sooner than 16 hours ago, I might have had you induce vomiting, but its too late for that at this point. If you want to wait and see, you can try giving her a quarter of a cup of plain canned pumpkin, since she is a big girl, as this will add some fiber to help her pass the mixture, but if she is still having some discomfort in a couple hours, have her seen. And do make sure you let her out to potty quite a bit. Let me know how you make out with her and best of luck :)
