Bloat usually comes on very quickly. At first, your dog may show signs that his stomach hurts. He may:
- Act restless
- Drool
- Have a swollen stomach
- Look anxious
- Look at his stomach
- Pace
- Try to vomit, but nothing comes up
As the condition gets worse, he may:
- Collapse
- Have pale gums
- Have a rapid heartbeat
- Be short of breath
- Feel weak
If you think your pet has bloat, get him to a clinic right away. If dogs don’t get treatment in time, the condition can kill them.
