OT Vets, how do you recognize potential dog bloat?

Fed by dog around 6 p.m. tonight. Normal serving of food. And I always make her stay calm for at least 1 hour after eating.
She has been "spitting up" ever since she ate (at least 15 times). Mostly clear, liquid like - no food. Almost "as if" a kibble went down the wrong way?
I've given her 4 tablespoons (very slowly) of Pumpkin (let her lick my finger) and Pro-Pectalin in an attempt to calm her stomach.
I keep feeling her stomach and it is "gurgling" - about once every 30 seconds. Other than that, her stomach feels fine.
Thoughts on what next steps?

Usually the dead ones I seen in the Middle East wouldn't take more than a day in that heat. It's pretty noticeable fwiw.

How about take your dog to the vet and stop asking a sports messaging blog about what to do.

I've got a damn poodle mix at the vet right now because she ate the stem off a pumpkin Friday night and had her poop chute clogged up.
Hopefully no surgery needed...hopefully.
Hope yours is alright

I'd call your local emergency vet and ask them what's up. I know that bloat progresses very quickly, so don't frick around.

I'm monitoring her very closely. She is now laying down. Since giving her pumpkin off my finger and Pro-Pectalin, the gurgling in her stomach has almost gone away.
Going to continue to keep her calm. She's not suffering from any anxiety or restlessness (two symptoms) and the spitting up has stopped ...

Does your dog eat quickly or out of a regular bowl?
My wife, in vet school, is adamant about our lab eating from a slow feeder. Dog bowl kinda looks like a maze and prevents him from swallowing a bunch of food.
Bloating is usually caused by inhaling air too quickly and having the stomach fill up.

I read vet and an illness so my original response was a shite ton of water 2400mg of motrin. Now I don't know.

I thought my lab had it recently but it ended up just being an upset stomach and fever. He was walking around in circles and spitting up. Couldn't lie down and looked to be very uncomfortable. All signs of bloat, but vet said it can be caused by fever too. Thank god it wasn't bloat, that's some scary shite.

I laughed way harder than I should've at this.

Ended up going to the vet.
Good news, no bloat.
Vet said it could be a sudden and chronic cough that just came on tonight. Or it could be that my dog ate way too fast and got "air" inside her esophagus and stomach.
I'll know tomorrow what it is if the cough returns. Gave her a shot to help stop vomiting and it worked!
She's out like a light and doing much better.
Thanks to all that helped.
