Bloat

Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), usually referred to as canine bloat, is a dangerous health condition in which the stomach of a dog twists and fills with gas.

Although the actual cause of bloat is uncertain, giant breeds are more prone to it.

Furthermore, male dogs are more prone to bloat.

It is thought that eating a huge amount of food or eating too quickly and eating from a raised dish can cause this disease.

Stress could be a component as well.

GDV in dogs is risky because the stomach can put pressure on the dog's diaphragm, causing breathing problems.

It can also cause a dog's stomach to rupture and damage other tissues, such as the spleen's tissues.

Retching and inability to vomit, salivation, restlessness and an expanded stomach area are all symptoms of canine bloat.

Your dog may experience rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, weakness, and collapse as the illness worsens.

The severity of canine bloat will determine how it is treated.
