bloat
Bloat doesn’t sound like an emergency to some but it is. It’s a condition that is called gastric dilatation, a stomach full of gas. This starts out as an uncomfortable feeling but can fastly turn into a second stage called volvulus, where the stomach actually flips or turns which causes the gas to be trapped.
Seek immediate veterinary help if you see a bloating stomach or your pet tries to burb or vomit and nothing comes out.
Some ways to avoid bloat are to not feed large meals, avoid eating and drinking quickly, or vigorous activity after a meal. Some large breed owners place the dog dishes up to a level where the dog is not bending down to eat or drink.
