It's exactly what it says. The bowel is twisted so food digestion and going to the bathroom is not an option when a dog has a twisted bowel and it can cause dealth. Surgery is most likely and highly successful.

∙ 13y agoCommonly dogs can get gastric torsion or volvulus where the stomach rotates; this is a very dangerous condition and would require immediate veterinary help. This is commonly associated with eating a big meal and then doing vigourous exercise. Symptoms include; severe bloating, severe abdominal pain, very pale or blue gums (especially bad!), may dribble. This can cause death in a few hours so if you see any symptoms take them to a vet immediately!
