My dog has a bloated stomach. About an hour ago he was retching, hacking, and walking around the room seemingly trying to vomit. Now he's acting normal, but still has a bloated stomach.

These signs may be compatible with a bloat and gastric torsion, even though now there are none showing (they can restart again). I would recommend an immediate check up as this disease represents an emergency and can lead to fatal consequences.
