Possible bloat?

[torie153]

Im not sure if he has bloat or not, i had a dog died of bloat nearly 6 years ago.

But his abdomen is huge and he keeps trying to throw up but nothing is coming out? He is whinning a little bit but he normally does so i dont know if it is from this or him just being himself. He does wag his tail and such when i talk to him. He doesn't cry when i push on his abdomen either. He does seem uncomfortable too.Any ideas?

There is a torn up bag of dog food outside the dog room, my dad isn't home and wont answer his cell so could this just be from over eatting?

I sure wish I had been up to see this when it posted- I would have been at the ER already.

Please update!

Vet visit first thing!! It's really never ok to try 'guess'.

I hope your dog is ok.

Bloat is a very serious issue - as you know. When a dog is suffering from bloat, you can try to give something like gas-x to give you more time (but that's all it CAN do is buy you some time). Bloat is one of the things that it is - get to the ER and ask questions later.
