Ironically, my sisters Dobie "Phoenix" died exactly one year ago today from this very same thing. She had the surgery and did well for about 3 days, but finally gave out, she was 12. So, just wanted to say that your post is very thoughtful and very informed:). Your pictures are gorgeous!! I just so happened to come across your website, and I saw this post.

I knew about bloat before Gracie got sick because it is so common in Newfs, but ever since I read her story, I've tried to learn more. Thanks so much for this amazing PDF. I'll print it out two copies - one for me and the other for my boarder. Erin, this is so awesome.

When I saw this post I felt the need to share a very informative website. I constantly go to this site to learn more about my danes. It is GREATDANELADY.COM. She has several articles regarding bloat and it's cause. Bloat isn't just a big dig problem, it can occur in bassett hounds too. I hope you find this information helpful.

Thank you so much for this! I did not realize that Gracie had been sick....so very happy to hear that she is on the mend. I had never heard of this condition until last night while watching Marley and Me.....so ironic that I then read about it here today. I am so very glad to hear of this as I am currently doing several things wrong with my giant schnauzer, not the least of which is feeding her in a somewhat elevated bowl, and leaving her water accessible at all times of day completely unsupervised. This is going to change today! thank you so much. I plan to repost this on my blog if that is alright with you. Erin! Thank you so much for this!

I have smaller dogs but still look out for this when I'm taking care of them, but to learn it is often just when you are not there yourself is a big thing, thank you so much. What I did hear once (I'll check it later, could not find it right away) from someone with a Great Dane and a big distance to the nearest vet, is that her stomach was on one side attatched to her side, to keep it from overturning... Not something to do for all dogs all the time but something to consider in special occasions maybe?
