<DIV><FONT size=2><EM>The bottom line is watch your dogs. If you <STRONG>think
</STRONG>they are bloating, if they are retching but not vomiting, agitated,
stomach distended, glassy-eyed---get'em some simethecone as you haul your butt
and your dog as fast as you can to the nearest Veterinarian. It is a thousand
times better to be told your dog just has gas than it is to wait and see
whether she is bloating or not. Money well spent, every
time.</EM></FONT></DIV>
