June 8, 2009 at 8:36 pm #86992dogloverwoooo!Memberdid he eat really/unusually fast?
June 8, 2009 at 8:37 pm #86993kerrie and stanMemberno he aet at his ussual speed which is reasonably slow, i didnt walk him straight after or let him run round. and we went for a short stroll down the road just now
June 8, 2009 at 9:02 pm #86994*Lassie*MemberIs he panting?
restless or seem in pain 🙁June 8, 2009 at 9:07 pm #86995kerrie and stanMembernope hes asleep (chasing rabbits i think) but he keeps looking at his tum and sniffing his butt, he has passed wind a few times and his tum is gurgling. perhaps hes just eaten too much?
June 8, 2009 at 9:09 pm #86996kerrie and stanMemberok hes just woken up and started panting realy heavy and making choking? noises. then settled down again

June 9, 2009 at 8:24 am #86999*Nat*MemberIs Stan ok now? :-\
June 9, 2009 at 9:20 am #87000kerrie and stanMembersaw the vet at 11pm last night and he said that he thought stan just had a tummy upset, stans been pooping and peeing normaly all morning but his belly is still a bit large. small meals and lead walks only for a few days i think then see how it goes
June 9, 2009 at 11:42 am #87001BilclarieMemberGlad to read that Stan hasn’t got bloat and I’m sure he will be on the mend soon, 3 things to remember, if your dog can open its bowls burp or pass wind bloat isn’t the issue, bloat will stop your dog from doing any of these things.
Merlin had a large bowl infection a few months back he had a very swollen abdomin and was arching his back in pain wouldn’t eat or drink one of the first things I thought of was bloat but on the way to the vets he stank the car out so I knew it wasn’t that, but he was very poorly for a few days.

June 9, 2009 at 12:22 pm #87002SweetypyeMemberSorry have to disagree with the above.
Bloat is NOT the same as GDV. I have had dogs with both.
Bloat is when the stomach swells with air. the dog will not necessarily have a torsion.
Torsion will not necessarily be preceded by a bloat, it can present in various forms, retching, urging, restlessness, panting, or even none of the above. Torsion prevents the evacuation of food at either end.
glad to hear all is well.
June 9, 2009 at 7:17 pm #87003kerrie and stanMemberthankyou ;D he is still a bit large and panty but not as much as yesterday. last night he gave the ussual symptoms of a tummy upset but i got concerned because nothing in his diet had changed that was why i thought bloat or something
