Thank you Barbara, I will look into the survey and complete it if I can I don't have any of Flames breeding back ground but will endevour to do what I can. Does it matter if I'm in Australia ? I'd do anything to help with this horrid condition.

Interesting Greg, you mention all breeds, I strongly agree with you. At the time of Flames surgery there was a Border Collie who was having GDV surgery too. The vets feel that there doesn't seem to be a steedfast rule of any particular breed suffering bloat these days. And interestingly our children own Newfoundlands and the breeder has never had a case of bloat and has been breeding many years. Maybe too, these days there are other contributing factors.

<p>I am of the view its simply an inherited trait having seen it in nearly every breed from Cavaliers to giant breeds and its certainly runs in families. Unfortunately now with advanced surgery they often now become part of the breeding pool. :(</p>

I'm so sorry Tina for the loss of your Mia, we say goodbye to our much loved furkids in many different ways but sadly Bloat is one that is very traumatic for both us and our Setters. It seems that not all vets are as learned as others and in my case I was foolish to think that all the vets at the clinic I occasionally attend, could confidently treat him. I was unhappy that they offered an after hours service but the vet on duty said she would naturally need an emergency team and there just…

I was unhappy that they offered an after hours service but the vet on duty said she would naturally need an emergency team and there just wasn't one available..... "then dont open"..... I look at Flames physical scars and it comes all welling back that stressful morning. All I can offer you is that I'm thinking of you Tina, do you have other Setters? I hope so :)) Take care x Hi Dianne,

<p>Hi Dianne, </p>
<p>I was not so lucky, my beautiful girl mia was not so lucky. no temperature no pail gums, no vomiting, the only thing she did do was bloat. It took the vet half an hour to get to the vets and then she started up scanner thinking it was not bloat, which I kept telling her was.

In the end she had the operation to die two days later with septasemia. £1700 later and no dog. I would have paid any amount of money to save her, but it was not to be. So the symptoms dont always follow. So pleased to hear yours is ok.

That's very sad Greg to read. Hopefully today through careful screening and caring, responsible breeding of this gorgeous breed. Bloat may, I say may not be something one will have to endure as we still do today. As one case is one too many. Dianne and Irish
