The following link is highly recommended for information concerning Bloat.
BLOAT IN DOGS  www.globalspan.net/bloat.htm   
This site is highly recommended for valuable information concerning a very serious health risk for dogs -- BLOAT, its symptoms, causes and prevention.  Golden Retrievers are one of the breeds most at risk.  This site also has links to other information sites.
And remember, many dogs will have an upset stomach, just an upset stomach, but yet exhibit some of these symptoms in the article.  The key is that they CANNOT lie down, their stomach does expand and even if  does not look huge, if you tap on it ...the sound is like tapping on a drum...hollow.  If that is the case...then off to vet.
