so sorry to know this. Do you know what happened to cause it, so to speak or just bad position inside him without any other factors?We lost our goofy Dane today, Atlas, to bloat.Long story short, $1200 at the vet today left us with an option of $10k minimum for surgery with a 10% chance of success. He was only 6.
I know I've posted this pic before, but this was pretty much his personality throughout his life:
RIP buddy, see you at the Rainbow Bridge.
Very sorry for your loss. Our dogs have the "gastric torsion" gift and when they eat (which is apparently all the time), it often strains my patience; trying to make them eat slow is pointless and they will let hand feeding last for hours if they think there's more good stuff the longer they wait.We lost our goofy Dane today, Atlas, to bloat.
RIP buddy, see you at the Rainbow Bridge.

No, we don't. It's just something Danes and several other breeds are susceptible to. Eating or drinking too fast, most likely.
yeah, I've always kind of worried about it. I know large breeds are all more probe to issues with it, just didn't know if you had any idea as to what lead up to it. Sorry for your loss.
10-4. We always used a slow feed bowl and had his food up higher in an effort to prevent it and would sort of encourage him to chill after eating. I guess that's the best practice. Just seems like such a weird thing that isn't preventable
…I do have a new female pup that eats very quickly then she looks at the other bowls like why is my bowl empty?
