Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Bloat, or Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV), is a life-threatening condition for large, deep-chested dog breeds where the stomach fills with gas and may twist. Signs include a distended abdomen (often on the left side), non-productive retching, excessive drooling, restlessness, pacing, heavy panting, and weakness. If you notice these symptoms, do not wait. This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
