cassie Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) OMFG :D Any Saint owner's worst fear. My baby boy is at the vet, he bloated today I was out with friends all day and didn't hear my phone ringing, but when I finally checked it I had 12 missed calls from my ex (the dogs still live with him since we split up) and an urgent message saying "Call me ASAP I think Hudson has bloat." Can't even describe how I felt when I read that, I just went cold all over. LUCKILY he had enough sense to not wait around for me to call him back, and he rushed him to the vet. He isn't as dog savvy as me but from the beginning I made sure he knew all about signs of bloat and if he ever saw it happening he had to drop everything and get him straight to the vet. So anyway, Hudson's still there now, they're keeping him overnight. I rang and spoke with the vet nurse, they did an xray on his stomach and it didn't actually twist, so thank God for that. He had a big vomit while at the vet and apparently that is a good sign. So now they just need to keep him in and make sure he can eat properly again tomorrow etc. Because it didn't twist, that's good then right? Shit I am so sick with worry right now Edited July 12, 2010 by cassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Oh shite Cassie, just saw the title and my heart stopped. Yes, its very good that he didn't torsion. See if you can backtrack to the what led up to him bloating, so you guys can be aware, ie; if he exercised after eating or anything different happened. sometimes though - they just bloat :-( Well done to your ex for immediate action, probably saved Huddie's life. sending Huddy all our good thoughts & hugs to you. fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my biggest fear!! I pray and hope Hudson is going to be fine, thank god it didn't twist. Good on you ex, brilliant work by him! I have told my OH all the signs too cos you just never know See this is the thing. Anyone with a bloat-prone breed, please make sure that everyone in the household, or anyone else who may feed your dog (say a friend looks after it one day) please PLEASE make them aware of the signs and how urgent it is.
