My dog dry heaved. Can it still be bloat if she slept all night?

Question

Feed AM/did not eat PM. Dry heaving last night about 2x/hr for 3 hours. Looked up & read about bloat. She went to sleep at midnight & has not thrown up again. She seemed more tired & less herself threw the morning but is playing ball now. It’s 3pm & just ate her breakfast. Would it be safe to say dog with bloat wouldn’t have slept through the night? Pet's info: Dog | English Springer Spaniel | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 18 lbs

She may have had a bit of a gassed up stomach, which resolved by itself. She would likely not have slept through the night and would have been pacing. She would also not have felt happy enough to play ball today. I would watch her closely, and if you see her abdomen swell (sounds like a drum!) or if she starts panting and pacing, then she needs to be taken to a PetER right away as this would be an emergency.
