Today we’re diving into something every dog owner needs to know about—bloat, or Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV). This is a life-threatening condition that can take your dog from healthy to critical in minutes. Knowing the signs and acting fast can save your dog’s life.
Here’s what to look out for: - Swollen or tight belly - Unproductive vomiting or retching - Restlessness or pacing - Panting or difficulty breathing - Weakness, collapse, or sudden lethargy
If you notice these symptoms, don’t wait—get to a vet immediately. Time is critical with bloat. Prevention is key! Feed smaller meals, use slow-feed bowls, avoid heavy exercise after eating, and watch out for large or deep-chested breeds—they’re more prone to this condition.
Take this seriously, folks. Bloat isn’t something you can just wait out—it’s a true emergency. — Check out all of our industry-leading online courses, training tips, and equipment recommendations by clicking below👇 Visit: https://bit.ly/LT_BLOAT
