My dog's stomach is swollen and restless. Could it be bloat?

Question

My dog is usually a pretty good sleeper and snuggler.... but tonight she hasn't been wanting to be touched. I fed her a bigger dinner and her stomach looks enlarged. She can't get comfy and I'm worried about Bloat

Poor pup! If your dog had bloat, she would also show signs as restlessness, pacing, glancing at her stomach, excessive drooling, a tight or swollen stomach, abdominal pain, and unproductive vomiting (trying to vomit with nothing coming up). If you are concerned she has bloat, then by all means take her into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now. In my opinion, it's was best to be safe than sorry, and since I can't see her in person, I will always recommend airing on the side of caution. Otherwise, you can monitor her for now. If she does show any of the additional signs of bloat, then rush her into a vet right away. I hope this helps!
