Leema Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 A friend mentioned to me the other day that she had never heard of a dog bloating after being fed a raw meal. Has anyone hear heard of a dog bloating after being fed a raw meal? Just for curiousity sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poodle wrangler Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 From what I've read, there are many factors involved with bloat, including a hereditary component. Interesting article, not specific to poodles. Standard poodles are a deep-chested breed and can get bloat http://www.poodlesinaustralia.com/health/health18.html. High fat dry foods (fat in the top 4 ingredients) and dry foods containing citric acid were associated with an increased risk of bloat in the study above.

squeak Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Yes, I have heard of dogs bloating on raw food... as well as dry - soaked and unsoaked, and elevated/not elevated food bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle Mum Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 My Std Poodle girl bloated after eating raw bones. Thankfully I got her to the vets in only the nic of time She survived emergency surgery & had her stomach stitched to her adbo wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavandra Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I have only known 2 dogs to get bloat. A Rotti that it happened too at the beach while he had been swimming, and gulping salt water. A Curly coated Retriever after eating ice....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4leggedvariety Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Yes, I have personally known 2 dogs, both shepherds, having bloated after eating chicken wings. Whether the raw food is the issue no one really knows, may be they would have bloated anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arby Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 bloat has more to do with the dogs gulping down food water and hereditary stuff, also if they get lots of exercise after food then the actual food itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
