I'm so sorry. I hope that something positive can be done for your gorgeous boy.

I'm so sorry. Godspeed handsome silly boy.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

That's amazing. And wonderful. Good boy Alan.

I'm so sorry.

Apparently, water consumption can be a factor as well. It's best not to let your dog "tank up", especially if it is hot from exercise. If a dog drinks a fair bit, it should not then run. One day the senior vet in the clinic I use said that he always worries about "those guys" (meaning standard poodles) having a drink, running, in the yard, and twisting their guts. In this neighbourhood, there have been three cases of bloat in the last half-dozen years: a great dane (cause unknown; he died of heart failure when they were trying to treat him), a border collie (cause unknown), and a chow (playing in the yard after dinner). (By "cause unknown", I mean I don't know it: the dane owner was barely coherent and I don't really know the border collie owner.) Only the chow survived. Here is the PetPlace article on bloat: GDV.

I'm so sorry.

I hope he heals quickly and well, and that the path report is good.

C'mon Sally! You can rally again this year. I love the third pic of her with Mokka--it's like Sally's wearing a messed-up behive wig.

I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

How terrifying. I hope she's doing well, and is able to come home soon.

Beet pulp seems to have helped Miss Soft Serve (Edie). Some of the benefit was immediate, but there's also been a gradual improvement that I can't attribute to anything else.

I'm so sorry.

OMG No! I'm so so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. I hope she has a lot of good days left.

He looks soooo much better. And he's not practically running, he is running. I hope the progress continues to accelerate.
