Bloat Survey
Bloat Survey
A big thank you to everyone who has completed the survey.
Cathryn Mellersh has given the following information:
We have surveys for 1956 dogs from 1098 owners.
1703 dogs are currently alive and 251 are dead.
886 males and 1068 females.
This represents a response rate of roughly 15%.
The prevalence of bloat among the survey respondents is approximately 13% (this includes bloating without GDV i.e. resolved without surgery or death.
It is hopeful this amount of data should be sufficient to detect heritability.
