[Dailydrool] BLOAT

[Kahuna and Friends]

They can always bloat. If they have the surgery and are tacked, the stomach
won't twist and cause a volvulous, or cut off the blood supply, but tacking
has nothing to do with the air distention. Once they bloat, you always need
to watch them in case it happens again so they can be decompressed - often
just the simethicone right away is enough.

wow! This is the first time that I've heard that a dog can bloat
AFTER surgery AND tacking! Isn't that unusual? I mean, wouldn't
she be only one out of a nickzillion that would do that?
