Bloat in dogs is caused by the stomach twisting around on itself and cutting off the inflow and outflow to the stomach. The blood supply and nerves to the stomach can also be compromised.
Signs of bloat include sudden abdominal distension, particularly just behind the rib cage, pain, inappetance, unproductive vomiting and lethargy.
