BLOAT (GDV)

This is a real emergency because many doggies die from bloat every year. Nobody knows exactly what causes it, but it seems that deep-chested doggies like Molly seem to get it more 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.
