Chris, Was there water in the area you were running? Dogs will drink too much at one time when they are hot from running, and they will bloat. I had a dog get a piece of string caught between her teeth and it went down her throat. She swallowed so much that she took in too much air, and bloated. There are a lot of young rabbits now too. Your dog may have gotten into a nest of rabbits and ate them. It could be a number of things. I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens regularly. If so, you probably should get a vet to look at him when it happens.

i have a female that does this when ran real hard for 6 to 8 hours. she slightly expands from her rib cage all the way thru her stomach. i just assumed it was her rib cage expanding from breathing so hard. i don't really have an answer, doesn't seem to hurt her.

I would watch her stool, if she ate rabbits her stool will be black and slick.
