Bloat
This is a real emergency because many dogs die from bloat every year. Nobody knows exactly what causes it, but it seems that deep-chested dogs like Molly are more prone to it than some others. Some vets, in an effort to prevent gastric torsion, and gastric volvulus, tack the stomachs of female dogs to the chest wall when they do the spaying operation. Read the sites below to learn the symptoms. Your fast action could save your dogs life.
