greysmom Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Oh, my!! It is very scary! We had a 2 yr old Great Dane that Bloat/torsion surgery. Fortunately we caught it is time and she recovered and went on to live a normal and long life. The symptoms I look for are unproductive dry heaves, or vomiting with little or no output beyond a little yellow bile, a "humped up" posture indicating abdominal pain, whining and biting at mid-section, indications of shock such as glassy eyes and pale gums, racing heartbeat and panting. It used to be that feeding from the floor was a no-no, and/or eating and drinking large amounts soon after hard exercise. I believe the current thinking is that genetics play a larger role, and that feeding from raised feeders is now considered a factor. Stress seems to also figure in. Plus the ratio of length-to-width of a breed's chest/abdomen - which is why sight hounds and other dogs shaped like sight hounds are at higher risk for bloat/torsion. The squarer the dog the less risk of bloat. In my Alex's case, she had a littermate die from bloat and another brother survived - so three pups from her litter had it. Her father (a champion show dog and prolific sire) also died from bloat while an experienced dog sitter was taking care of him while his owners were on vacation. Frisco was a beautiful dog and a lot of Great Dane owners were shocked by his passing. Here's prayers for Johnny and hoping he has a happy ending, too!!!!! greysmom Quote Chris - Mom to: Felicity (DeLand), and Andi (Braska Pandora) siggy by Chris Harper, on Flickr Angels: Libby (Everlast), Dorie (Dog Gone Holly), Dude (TNJ VooDoo), Copper (Kid's Copper), Cash (GSI Payncash), Toni (LPH Cry Baby), Whiskey (KT's Phys Ed), Atom, Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnnyBell Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Thank you everyone for all the thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry it took so long for an update. I went to visit Johnny yesterday and he was relly stresed, as I got there right after he had his IV removed and a new one inserted and he was due for pain meds. He was pacing, panting heavily and whining a lot. When I left they had to end up heavily sedating him because his body temp was rising and he was very aggitated and stressed and started to go downhill, they said it was due to my visit, so I'm not allowed to visit him anymore. I called again later in the evening and they said he was still out of it and he still hasn't eaten anything because he had vomited a few times. He supposed to come home Monday, but they said he has to be able to eat, be stable on his feet and not vomit, so I hope he comes home soon. I miss my big boy so much.
