Its not often that Facebook can save a life, but reading this post could.... Canine bloat can kill your dog if action isnt taken. Please take a minute to memorise the symptoms in case your dog ever suffers with this potentially fatal condition. If you experience a combination of the following: - Your dog retches from the throat but nothing is produced other than small amounts of frothy mucus - Your dog tries to defaecate unsuccessfully - Your dog adopts the Sphinx position - Your dogs tummy goes hard and/or swells up like a balloon and is as taut as drumskin - Trying to bite, or worry, the abdomen - Your dog is very unsettled CONTACT YOUR VET IMMEDIATELY. Bloat is a true emergency - be prepared to drive to the surgery straightaway. The chance of survival decreases alarmingly if you delay getting the dog to the surgery more than 60-90 minutes after the first signs.
