bloat is a condition in which the dog's gut becomes inflated with gas and/or air that can't escape. it blows up like a balloon. sometimes, the stomach also twists, and tissue in the stomach and spleen die from lack of circulation. blood that doesn't flow becomes poisoned.
it's a very dangerous condition, and mortality rates are very high. unfortunately, most vets have limited experience with emergency bloat surgeries.
if you have a dog at higher risk for bloat, it's a good idea to find out which vet hospital in your area has the most experience, and know ahead of time where you would have to go and exactly how long it would take you to get there.
this is a huge topic. do a search online and on this forum and you will get lots of information.
