When you own a dog, I highly recommend having a bloat kit on hand. We owned Danes and it was a must have in our household. Especially for larger dogs

just so everyone knows prophylactic gastropexy is a surgery recommend for many large dog breeds that permanently fixes the stomach and doesn't allow it to twist. so many people don't know this is an option but it can save our fur babies ❤️

Every big dog needs their stomach stapled to the outer muscles when they go in to the vet to get fixed. It’s basic knowledge in other countries…ours is one of the only ones that doesn’t just included it. Any vet can do it…all you have to do is ask

I caught my dog turn to bloat in <60 sec. My dad didn’t believe he would die and said “what would they even do how much is that gonna cost”. I got up got my keys, paid the 4K & lost respect for him

Please please get your dogs a gastropexy!! Especially during a neuter! Yes it costs a few hundred more, but emergency GDV surgery costs thousands AND your dogs life at extreme risk

I lost one of my boys to it when I was a kid. I told my mom something was wrong and she ignored me. He suffered for hours until his body gave up. It will be 7 years this October and it still hurts

Bloat in dogs isn’t talked about enough!!! I didn’t even know what it was until recently and I have a barrel chested dog! It now terrifies me to the point I got one of my dogs a slow feeder because she eats so fast.

This happened to me with my German shepherd I was 9 I said bye to her every morning before school one day I found her so sick her stomach turned inside out and that was the last time I ever saw her. It was awful.

she just felt sick for a couple days. we take her to the vet and they tell us there’s a rupture in her abdomen. why didn’t she give us a fucking sign? we might’ve been able to save her before her 11th birthday.

Picked him up from his grooming appointment in march and it looked like he ate a basketball. We did the surgery but it was already too late. I miss him. He was only 4 :(

we lost our big boy to it... we were always so careful with it as well... He had a water bowl so he can drink during the night in the house and when my dad woke up in the morning he noticed Kai was sleeping but wasnt responding to him ( this dog loved my dad and the sound of his voice always woke him up) Dad rushed him to the vet but it was too late, he passed away at the vets office with my dad next to him. I've never heard my dad cry this much before, he was broken. Kai was 9 years old.

I am so sorry for your loss. If it helps, I am a dog owner and had no idea what this was. You are helping with awareness and I am sorry you had to lose your bestie to educate more people. But I appreciate your post and am sending loving vibes.

Lost both my babies suddenly on the same day after 10 & 11 years together. They couldn’t live without one another so they made sure they went out together. ❤️🩹❤️🩹

It's been 6 years since losing him to bloat. Getting that phone call at 5am when you're stuck in a semi truck hours from home is something I hope I never have to relive.
