Ring your vet and mention bloat.  Better safe than sorry

Have you checked his feet or maybe he's just pulled a muscle.

call your vet and get him checked out.   I too would worry about bloat which if not dealt with quickly can be fatal

One of the typical symptoms of GDV (Bloat) is being unable to settle.   Most dogs will stand with back arched and trying to vomit, just bringing up white froth.   If this IS what's going on, the sooner you get to the vet the most chance the dog has of surviving.   If there is one single true emergency for dogs, this is it!!!

In any case, your dog needs a vet - warn them ahead that you may be bringing in a bloat patient so they are ready to see you immediately.   As said, even if this isn't bloat, better safe than sorry.

Any update this morning?

We had one who was atypical and even though I suspected bloat having seen it years earlier. We had her at the vet within the hour but sadly we lost her.
Even the vet wasn't sure and by the time they agreed it was too late.
I am now incredibly sensitive about the condition a d when my latest gsd showed symptoms we off to the vet immediacy.  In that case it was a burst splendic tumour. Sometimeslife is just horrid
I hope the op dog settled and
is well this morning

Me too!   We have had 4 cases of GDV despite my every effort for this NOT to happen.   The first was an elderly Basset in his 12th year.   He'd been fit and well throughout his life and when this happened (it was very obvious - all the stated symptoms) we got him to our then vet who had to open him up (it had gone to a full torsion).  When this happened to our second hound at around the same age, as he'd not been a very fit hound throughout his life after an early gastro-enteritis bug got him when only a puppy, having see how it knocked the stuffing out of the first case, we opted not to have him go through the recovery.  My same vet asked if he could open him up to see if he could learn anything.  We agreed.   He didn't (learn anything new).

Our third and fourth cases happened back in the UK, the third being another elderly male (14 years) and he blew first thing, after his breakfast.  Sadly he'd gone by the time we got him to our vet which was done with minimum delay.   The fourth was different - an 8 year old healthy and fit male, found in his crate surrounded by froth first thing.  No breakfast or prior exercise.  We got him to our vet who opened him up, had to remove his ruptured spleen and he was back home by 6 pm that same day, with no further episodes.   Interestingly hounds one and two were not directly related.  Hounds 3 and 4 were grandfather and grandson.  There is some evidence to suggest famial involvement.

When a pup of around 8 week looked as if he was blowing, I had him straight off to my vet - happily he'd gone back down by the time we got there!!

I hope OPs dog is ok.

Please your pup was ok mambas. It really does seem that although there are specific signs it can also be atypical throwing people , even  vets as
In our second  case, off the scent

What did the vet say?

Managed to get him settled down the crying spells became further apart as the night went on he kept licking his paws moved him into our bedroom and he managed to sleep in his bed and ours. Thankfully this morning he was a hell of a lot better playing with his ball and begging for food, took him for a short walk tonight and he was into everything, still a bit quite and licking his paws  A BIG THANKS to everyone woof Troop
