Hi all - I?ve not been here for probably upwards of a year, but was quite active around the time I adopted my gorgeous Newfie boy.Not long after I got him I started reading about bloat, posted something on here about it and Satinbaze gave me lots of info. It obviously stuck in my mind because in the early hours of this morning when my boy got bloat (and not a particularly typical presentation, he was showing no signs of distress really other than retching every 30-45 mins) I recognized it, rushed him to the vet who managed to tube him, remove the pressure from his stomach then do emergency surgery to correct the 180 degree twist and put a pexy in place. He?s survived the surgery and so far things are looking as good as they can do.So just a public thank you really - information people give out on this forum can make a real difference. I shudder to think what state he would have been in if I?d left him for another few hours until morning, I suspect I?d be looking at a completely different likely outcome.
