I had no idea what was wrong with her and it happened so fast. We kept her in a dog lot and in the mornings I would go let her out so she could get some exercise, when I went to the lot she was laying on her side and her stomach was swollen she would not get up and I could tell she was in pain,we live in the country and I am disabled so I called my husband, I was hysterical and my neighbor came to see what was wrong he took one look at her and ran to get a blanket to take her to the doctor for me. I was holding her in my arms begging god to help her when she took her last breath.It happened so fast and I feel she would have made it had it not been for my ignorance, I knew nothing about Bloat.We lost a member of our family yesterday and I feel for anyone who loses a pet and Larry I wish I had read your post before this happened. Thank you for trying to make people aware of this. My condolences to your friend Yesterday my beloved Princess our 14 year old Chow died in my arms, unfortunetly I did not no about bloat.
