Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / August 2005Bloat with no eating or drinking?
Can a dog get bloat if they haven't eaten a meal for 8 hours and had very little water? Absolutely. It seems to happen more frequently in associated with eating/drinking, but it can happen at any time, with no apparent reason.

Yup. Yes. I lost my bloodhound last year... no food or water for hours..... he just bloated... no torsion tho. Unfortunately, the ER vet was a total idiot and did not even try to decompress him..... the only way to stop his suffering was to euthanize my dog. Bloat with treatment isn't guaranteed... but this jerk didn't even try. It's a scary horrible illness. http://www.twinoaksbh.com/gdvbloat.html http://pionet.net/~mtrul/bloat.html Nicole > Can a dog get bloat if they haven't eaten a meal for 8 hours and had > very little water? |
