Canine bloat is a common and often fatal condition that affects dogs of all breeds and sizes including the Keeshond? If you’re not familiar with bloat, your vet can help you learn about the signs and symptoms to watch out for. Bloat occurs when an irregular amount of gas, food or fluid builds up in the stomach causing it to expand. Stress can often be a contributing factor. General symptoms of bloat may include unsuccessful attempts to vomit, abnormal behavior, anxiety, restlessness, hunched up appearance (as if in stomach pain), no normal digestive sounds in the stomach, bloated or tight abdomen, whining, pacing, foaming at the mouth, drooling, unsuccessful attempts to defecate or poop, heavy breathing, excessive drinking, weakness, and even collapse. Bloat can lead to low blood pressure, shock, and damage to internal organs. The condition is almost always fatal if immediate treatment is not received.
