My dog's stomach is gurgling loudly and constantly. Is it GI upset?

Question

My dog recently had a mild reaction to ferminator (the groomer put it on to reduce shedding). We had her bathed again yesterday with hypoallergenic products. Tonight I walk in to the kitchen to grab water and I hear this gurgling sound. I thought it was the washing machine but it was my dog. It's very loud and constant. She had nothing strange to eat. Her breakfast was this morning. This has never happened before. 84lb Labrador retriever (female). A bit obese but we're working on it HELP.

I think that may be completely unrelated to the previous allergic reaction. These may be signs of a gastrointestinal upset. I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
