MaryJane Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 A bit of a hijack --- I'm reading "Soldier Dogs" by Maria Goodavage and she states that dogs chosen for military work will have the stomach tied back as part of a normal process to prevent torsion. Since these dogs will be out in the field without "emergency vets" available, they decided that this procedure done routinely is a wise course of action. Most of the dogs are the German Shepard type with the big chests -- exactly the type of dog that typically gets the bloat and torsion.
