<div><font><font face="verdana,sans-serif">My experience over the years, working at the Vets, is that some dogs bloat and older dogs tend to have other issues. Nine times out of ten, an older dog (please ignore this if you have a giant breed, like a Great Dane, Great Pyrenees or St Bernard) that bloats has cancer somewhere internally that makes the bloat secondary. In these cases there really is little you can do. It may not respond to normal treatment, because something other than the normal circumstances are causing the bloat. Does that make sense? </font></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">If one of my dogs, at age 11 or 12 bloated, I would prepare myself for hearing that something else is also going on. This is just my observation. I am not a Vet and it is purely anecdotal. I have no stats to back it up.</font></div>
