Not had a very good morning :o(

[Emmaj]

Well fed the dogs as normal this morning................and Qannik my youngest sibe.................blew up to the size of a barrell and started doing real strange things with her body.................scared the living daylights out of me i rushed her onto the vets an yips was just as i thought bloat

They have kept her in for the afternoon her stomach hadnt twisted thankfully but thats what they need to prevent from happening otherwise she will need a life saving op

i have to call back at 3pm to see how she is doing...............would seem so far so good being i aint had a call to say they have rushed her to theater yet

all the dogs are moping about looking for the lil madam and she was devestated when i had to leave her at the vets as was i


Both myself an steve (the vet) are 100% sure this has happened due to her bolting her food (rushing it down)

see people even shite like this can happen to the carefulest of people

LOL feed her more ?

tends to lean towards you saying i dont feed them enough..............

my dogs are fed on BARF she bolted her food so she could rush for her next carcus feeding her more would of probs killed her out right so its a good job i didnt




bloat in dogs is from them rushing food down, getting to hyper after eating without letting it settle properly

it can happen to any dog at anytime it has nothing to do with over or under feeding

i have 7 dogs that are as a whole very fit and healthy perfect weights and muscle tone

Sorry to hear this Ems :o(

Don't sit there worrying! Phone the vets and ask how she is, you know how great your vets are.

Love to Qannik, get well soon

I had a lab that bolted her food to stop her i put a very large pebble in her bowl so she couldnt bolt her dinner, and after a while she started to eat normally so I could remove the pebble, but it wold be hard to use that method with BARF

I'm really sorry she has bloat its my worse nightmare, I hope your little girl soon recovers and gets back to normal
