Yes my dog was born on that date. He hasnt had bloat, but I am now very worried that if other dogs from the litter have had it, does it increase his chances of getiing it in the future?

I must admit I am surprised as I thought it was only deep chested dogs that were affected.

If you pup was born on the 12.07.09 then I think a few pups from that litter have suffered bloat as I have been contacted by other people whose pups have also had the same condition. How old was your dog when this occurred?

I am glad that Bailey is recovering, please can you tell me if bloat is hereditary as I believe my dog could be related to Bailey?

Thanks for the article which was very interesting. Only thing is that it says that the feeding bowls should not be elevated and we have been told that they should be! He is on 4 small meals a day and although he loves the food he wants more - I feel like I am starving him!<br />

Hi Shelley, hope Bailey is ok, just thought you might find this information of some help:<a href="http://www.globalspan.net/bloat.htm" target="_blank">www.globalspan.net/bloat.htm</a> I have found the site quite useful, and always feed my dogs some raw minced meat with their dry food, which I never add any water too. Good Luck.

Hi there,<br />
<br />
I have a dog who suffers from bloat. He developed the problem at 9 months and has now had two major operations to alleviate the problem the last being back in October last year. It appears younger dogs are now developing bloat more so than previously where it could be several years before any problem became evident.<br />

Hi there,<br />
<br />
I have a dog who suffers from bloat. He developed the problem at 9 months and has now had two major operations to alleviate the problem the last being back in October last year. It appears younger dogs are now developing bloat more so than previously where it could be several years before any problem became evident.<br />
Stress is a major factor and a strict food regime is also very important. He cannot eat any form of kibble. We still feed four meals a day. We are 50% through a partial diet change which seems to be working but this is being done over several weeks and we don't intend any further changes until he has by seen by the specialist again next month.<br />
I'm told by the specialist that a gastropexy does cure the bloating problem in a significant number of cases although unfortunately in our case it hasn't. But at least this procedure does help prevent the stomach turning in a subsequent bloat episode and does help the owner's necessary "peace of mind" that Sue Humphrey mentioned previously.
