Raw bread dough expands inside the stomach and ferments into alcohol, a double emergency.
The warm stomach is an ideal proving environment. Rising dough can cause life-threatening gastric dilatation-volvulus (bloat), while yeast fermentation produces ethanol leading to alcohol poisoning.
Yeast metabolizes sugars in the dough into carbon dioxide (causing distension) and ethanol (causing intoxication). Distension can compromise blood flow to abdominal organs and cause shock; ethanol crosses the blood-brain barrier and depresses the central nervous system. Both processes accelerate at body temperature.

Any meaningful ingestion is a veterinary emergency — do not wait for symptoms. Inducing vomiting at home is contraindicated because dough can become lodged in the esophagus.
Contatta immediatamente il tuo veterinario o una linea di emergenza per avvelenamenti animali. Non indurre il vomito a meno che non sia indicato da un veterinario.
