thank you this is really helpful!, but what does it mean if your dog’s stomach feels like it has air but doesnt feel hard just like it has gas. does that mean he might have that sickness bloat?
taught?
@arandomthot5 “taut,” it means tight, or stretched.
I just lost my 12 yr old Akita to bloat. He wasn’t doing very well in his old age, but knowing he could have had more time with us breaks my heart.
gidget my sister dog,died only 1 died on her b-day we miss her very much.: :’( r.i.p gidet
typical woman…first 40 secs full of air
typical woman…first 40 secs full of air..i think theres some conspiracy going on between all these vets and what not to scam people out of money…my rottie does this a lot after he eats and his stomach is tight caz he jusst ate…no real help here at all
Ya I also don’t get these ‘pros’ and their tips on dog bloat. They all say ‘take your dog the the vet hosptital asap!!!!’, yet my dog sometimes retches and gags without vomiting. Usually after I play with him, but it doesn’t happen after jogs or walks. If it’s something that happens frequently, you CANT take them to the vet every time…. And if it’s frequent, it ISNT serious. These vets need to go find the true symptoms to the fatal bloat…
It’s my mom’s birthday today… And my handsome, smart , absolutely nice and our loving rottie just died to this. Not to some sickness, but by some wrong feeding time by our maid

my dog is bloated right now..her tunny is super tight and hard, but i dont have the money to take her to the vet..im so scared for her
@tbwj21 Unfortunately, there isn’t one true symptom that will distinguish it from other events. The difference between simple retching and gags and the life threatening bloat can be seen in the dogs behavior; lethargic, stoic, pain, distended stomach, salivating, incapacity to lie down for periods of times, pacing and so on. While it’s true that if this happens frequently, you can’t take it to the vet every time, but when that moment comes, how will you determine it is?
SHUT THE HELL UP!
