Thanks to everyone for their wonderful support. I'm pleased to report that our beloved goofball appears to be making a full recovery. Stitches came out on Monday and we're keeping him to 4 meals a day, dry food but well soaked first. Still giving Bailey some chicken or tinned food in with it to make it smell more appetising. I'm being pestered to throw his tennis ball as I type so he must be feeling good.

Alison,<br />

How is Baily getting on now? Our vet co-incidentally gave the same food R. Canin Chicken and Rice sensitivity control to Canagan, one of our dogs after his first operation.<br />
<br />
We also have had some real problems with Torsion and Bloat over the last year and it seems incredible even now that despite the twisting and stretching of the stomach muscle it still, to some degree, functions. I'm sure that time helps the healing process and I have read many stories of dogs that have suffered a…

Lynne Dale does have a great deal of experience with this issue as well as trying to build up a database on the problem. Yes you should also let your breeder know what has happened.

Hello Alison - I read about your situation with Bailey yesterday and my heart went out to you; I thought about you last night as I watched my boy Reuben tucking in with gusto to his dinner - bloat is always a constant worry! I'm so so pleased to hear Bailey is home and managing to eat a little something. Fingers (and paws) crossed here from us - hope to hear he is putting on weight and recovering well very soon.

Thanks Susan. Got Bailey home today. He's lost a lot of weight but is trying to be his usual self. It's wonderful to see. He hates the tinned food the vet gave us as the stepping stone to eating normally again (Royal Canin Sensitivity Control) so I've cooked some chicken and rice. He's very keen to eat this although he's picking out the chicken and ignoring the rice. The vet is very optimistic because he's now eating little and often and has managed to do some 'business'. Looks as though…

Many thanks for all the messages of support and advice. I was allowed to see my boy for 10 minutes today. He was like a rag doll but very pleased to see me (almost pulled his drip out trying to get out of the cage). The vet is encouraged to see Bailey keen to get up and around. He's managed a little food and they are just "waiting to see something come out the other end". Not home clear yet but I keep reminding myself that he's a young and otherwise fit dog. I know it's no guarantee but it must…

I hope your Bailey is recovering well, it is something we all dread. I do think, however, that if you are going to contact anyone you inform your breeder. That is far more important than getting in touch with Lynne Dale and the ISBC. It would be as devestating for them as it is for you and they would need to know.
