If you are concerned about a GDV, Ronnie should be evaluated by a vet immediately. This a life-threatening issue that needs emergency surgical correction. Other possible causes of the symptoms you have described include dietary indiscretion, food allergy, intestinal parasites, GI blockage, gastroenteritis, bacterial or viral infection, IBD, pancreatitis, among others.
