Other possible causes of an enlarged stomach may include decreased gastrointestinal motility (slow intestinal movement), or even constipation. If the stomach wall is damaged, that piece is removed. When this happens, blood collects in the rear of the dog’s.
This Causes Both The Entrance And Exit Of The Stomach To Become Blocked, Trapping Not Only The Contents Of The Stomach, But The Free Flow Of Blood Past The Organ.
Pay attention to areas that feel hardened versus the areas. Food bloat shows up as large amounts of food visible in the stomach. Bloat is a condition in which food or gas stretches your dog’s stomach, causing abdominal pain.

The risk of bloat increases as a dog ages. You’ll also notice that your puppy's stomach swells and becomes painful. When the stomach fills with gas rapidly, this can cause the stomach to flip on itself (gdv).
One Is To Deflate The Stomach And Turn It Back To Its Correct Position.
As pressure builds up and blood supply to the stomach is cut off, a portion or all of the stomach may die. As the stomach swells, it may rotate 90° to 360°, twisting between its fixed attachments at the food tube and at the upper intestine. The gas and fluids then start to ferment within the closed off stomach.
When Too Much Air Builds Up In The Stomach, Pressure Increase.
If your puppy has these symptoms it is important to take him or her to the veterinarian as soon as possible. Time is very important in bloat cases because a twisted stomach can reduce blood flow, causing death of the dog's stomach wall (necrosis). Depending on the severity, bloat can be fatal if not treated within an hour or two.
