<DIV>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.</DIV>
