What Is Wrong With My Dog If He Has A Bloated Stomach?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The most serious and potentially life threatening concern is for GDV (Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus) aka Bloat.  With this disease the stomach dilates and rotates on its access.  This is fatal without treatment.
    Other causes of a distended abdomen can be fluid in the abdomen, an intestinal mass, or muscle tension from discomfort.
    Seek veterinary medical attention immediately to rule out bloat.  The first step after a thorough examination will be abdominal x-rays.
