Canine bloat is a medical emergency in which the stomach has become twisted; the abdomen often becomes enlarged, which gives the condition its name. The faster the twist is corrected, the less risk of death or serious injury there is.

bloat is a medical condition that most maybe even all breeds of dogs are prone to. because a dogs stomach is not as Well you might say) heavily or strongly attached to the ribs as say, ours are, their stomach can flip over which causes, as some say, a "kink" in the digestive system causing the food that goes down the dogs esophagus (if I spelled that wrong i'm sorry)to, well, get stuck and cause the tube to expand until it explodes releasing acids onto the dogs body which painfully eats away at the dogs organs painfully, yet quickly, killing the dog.

Canine bloat is a serious medical emergency in which the stomach twists on itself and cuts off the entrance and exit, so nothing can leave the stomach. The stomach then starts to dilate with gases from digestion, resulting in bloat.

If the pressure is not relieved, it is possible for the stomach to rupture, which is generally a sign the dog is about to die.

Bloat is a life-threatening stomach condition (where the stomach is swollen and/or rotated). If you suspect your dog has bloat, see a vet ASAP.
