Hopefully nothing goes wrong this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puglvr Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Best wishes for millie's speedy recovery. I have had two with bloat/GDV and 2 successful operation And yes all dog owners need to be aware of bloat. One was a Deerhound and one was a pug.

OSoSwift Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Glad she seems to be on the mend. I had a Dobe bitch with GDV twice and bloat once. It is an emotional roller coaster as you will know un twisting and getting things back where they should be are just the beginning. She will need to kept very very quiet for the next few weeks. My vet told me never to fees more than 3 cups of food at any one meal(if dry food need to consider swelling of the food once in the stomach). ALso do not let her guts water and get a belly full. My Dobe had her last surgery at 7 and a half and died from old age related problems at 12 so while stressful, they can be okay. I really feel for you all and am glad it is looking okay, my best wished to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Glad to hear that Millie is doing ok! Bloat scares the bejeebies out of me - I had a gastropexy done on Orbit when he was desexed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weisnjac Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Thanks again everyone for the well wishes! Millie came home this morning and has spent the day flat out. She was a bit active this afternoon, trying to keep her quiet is going to be tougher than we thought. She is the crate in the loungeroom at the moment and is getting taken out the front on lead for toilet breaks, away from the other dogs. So far, so good. She is licking at her stitches a little but hopefully everything else heals well. It's been quite a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatBigPuppy Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Great news. Don't be complacent about her food though, small meals often for the next few weeks. Her outside will be looking better than her inside. Edited April 6, 2009 by GreatBigPuppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her outside will be looking better than her inside. Not at all, she is on 4/5 small meals a day and will continue on them for a while to come, not taking any chances Lizzy, if you check out the links posted at the start of this topic it will give you more information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
