Re: [rawfeeding] Feeding bloat dog and treating it and preventing it!

Trish, IMHO
I have a female HC wolfdog that got a BAD leg injury
she had to lay down while she was eating.
Isisbluemoon bloated her stomach was hard and big.
I gave her Gas-X and Tranq'd her
so she would relaxs.
I stayed up all night and laid with her rubbing
her tummy it wasn't long she started passing Gas
and her tummy went down she was 7 months old
and she has never had it happen again she is 4 yrs old now:-)
Maybe I just got lucky.
Vet they said surgery was only choice and it would cost $3000.00. By the way my friend had female HC wolfdog
that bloated while she was gone for just the day when she got home she was dead. The vet said it is a horrible death!:-(
She had for the first time feed raw and kibble together and it was VERY hot and she drinked alot that morning.
The animal was 6 yrs old and never had a problem till that day!
Great Dane's they say to feed them up high so they don't suck in alot of air during eating and bloat what my vet said to me yrs ago when I had 6 beautiful Great Dane's of all colors.
Yes I feed kibble then:-( They all lived till around the age of 8 and 9 yrs old:-( I still miss them. I wonder if I would of fed raw then if they would of lived longer?
