Why is my Bernese Mountain Dog puppy not eating? Is it bloat?

Question

I have a Burnese Mountain Dog about 6 months old. He has refused to eat a majority of his food and has been drinking water. We are concerned it is bloat, but he isn't showing any major symptoms. Any help is appreciated. Pet's info: Dog | Bernese Mountain Dog | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 9 days old | 45 lbs

Symptoms of bloat include a firm, distended abdomen, panting heavily, and retching (trying to vomit with nothing coming up). If you notice any of these symptoms then you need to take Maui to the vet immediately. If he is acting relaxed, resting well, and just not eating then I would be less worried about bloat. If Maui goes more than 24-48 without eating then you should take him to the vet.
