He was laying is his same spot. As I was showering my wife came home from am errand and sent my oldest up to tell me something was wrong with Elvis. I got downstairs to find him with his back very arched and shaking. Thinking bloat I felt his stomach and it was sucked IN not bloated out. My wife had already called for an appt. with our vet who has Saturday hours, but I overrode that, scoped him in the car and drove diretly to the Vet. They got us right in. he was intermittently shaking and but did not appear bloated. After a physical exam he got an xray, suspecting a tweaked back. The disc spaces looked perfect and that same as his from two years ago when we had a series for his bladder stones. But, he had some gas and the stomach looked a little off (not twisted, but the gas looked a bit compartmentalized). The vet suspects he just has gastric pain from the gas. He has us feeding small, bland meals for now to settle it down. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am concerned about bloat, and have the family on watch mode. We are going to take him for a good walk here pretty quick to help move things along. Keep him in your thoughts. And we will keep the group posted.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeff<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
