OP, looks like you already have your answer but Bloat signs are typically a bit more pronounced.. you'll see the dog drinking a lot of water, tail tucked, stomach enlarged (will sound like a drum if you pat it).
I am not a vet but I've done a lot of research on this bc i have a large dog. It's not a bad idea to have some "gas-x" on hand for those situations, it could save the dogs life.

Vet probably gave your pooch a shot of Cerenia. I have to give my GSD half a pill anytime we travel because she gets car sick after about 20 minutes. It supposedly blocks the part of the brain the triggers the vomiting. My dog had the same symptoms of yours one time and when I called the vet they couldn't see her until that afternoon, but they had me give her the Cerenia to stop the vomiting and dehydration. It might not be a bad idea to keep a Rx on hand for these situations.
