Gastric torsion in dogs is referred to bloat.
Just a correction here. Bloat is a condition where the stomach expands due
to, usually, gas build-up inside it. It can, but does not always, proceed to a
gastric torsion, which involves the stomach actually twisting. Simple bloat
can be treated much more easily than an actual torsion.
