  1. My lab is also guilty of this ... it's gross ! I'm wondering if anyone's considered the acidity in pineapple and bloat? I don't know if there's a connection or not .. just curious ?
  2. You haven't mentioned if you have another dog or if you'll allow the dog inside - or if someone'll be home during the day Weims don't like being on their own
  3. What's the eye colour of the blues ?
  4. What breed? Weimaraner Long Coat How old was the dog? 1st time - 6 2nd time - 7 3rd time - 8 (she's now 12) Was there a familial component? No What was the dog being fed? Need some detail of what exactly - if dry food, which one, if raw, what it was All 3 times BARF (chicken carcasses the 3rd time) ... she's now on supercoat (soaked) How often was he fed? Once daily or more? Twice always, with a treat in between Was his bowl elevated, or on the ground? On the ground, but with BARF she usually lay on the ground chewing chicken carcasses etc What was he doing when he bloated? (ie, at a show, at home, playing, at home alone) First 2 times home with us, 3rd time home alone ... lucky I got home in time Has he bloated more than once? Yes, see above First and second time was very minor & was just given something similar to buscopan Third time was more serious, but she did not blow up any of the times ... to look at her you wouldn't have known, except she was rock hard & distressed, running in & outside trying to go to the toilet. Plus the smell was unbearable ... extremely gassy house I came home to. Has he had a gastrowhatsit? LOL (too lazy to look it up, but you'll know ) No, she'd already been desexed & tubing relieved it, but I would have had gastroplexy done if required. Did he ever bloat after that? Not after the 3rd time, but she did manage to get bitten by a snake to ensure I continued with costly vet bills Did the dog also suffer GDV No Did it have surgery? No What was done to relieve the bloat? Buscopan 1st & 2nd, tubing 3rd Also need to note she is not high strung at all ... very relaxed dog (for a weim). She is also not deep chested (she's not a particularly good example of the breed ;) but I love her anyway). She'd not been strenuously exercised, she met none of the known criteria for bloat.
