Secondary bloat or free gas bloat results from any condition that interferes with eructation and includes physical or functional disroders of the oesophagus (e.g.oesophageal obstruction)or the forestomachs. Secondary bloat usually affects a single animal in a group and generally has a more sporadic occurrence.  

It may be '''acute''' in the case of sudden oesophageal obstruction, caused by a foreign body such as a potatoe or turnip, or '''chronic''' resulting from partial oesophageal obstruction, compression, or from interference with normal eructation.
