Why is my Bulldogs stomach swollen?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

The bloat occurs due to gas being trapped in the stomach area and thus begins to expand painfully, restricting blood flow and preventing digestion. There is no agreed-upon single cause for GDV. Even so, it is generally thought to be caused by swallowing excessive air and heavy exercise after a large meal.


What would cause a dog's stomach to swell?

It's the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen, which in turn, causes swelling. There are many reasons why your dog may experience ascites. Common reasons include heart failure, liver disease, kidney disease, or intestinal diseases. Puppies can get it from various infectious diseases.

What does it mean when a dog's belly is swollen and hard?

Bloat happens when gas or food stretch a dog's stomach. GDV happens when the distended stomach rotates, trapping the gas inside, and blocking off the stomach's blood supply.

What can I give my dog for swollen stomach?

There are no home remedies, medications, or supplements that are safe or effective to give a dog that is suffering from GDV/Bloat. No amount of Gas-X® or any other at-home or over-the-counter treatment will cure or help a dog or prevent GDV from developing.
