Hope my little buddy makes it home tomorrow.

Love dogs I hope by morning he's OK.

I hope everything works out for the dog. They're the best

let us know how he does. Hoping for the best outcome!

Prayers for your pup.

I hope all is well this morning? Bloat is a huge fear of mine with my dogs. I do everything possible to help against it happening, but you can’t really prevent it. Stomach tacking is costly and some vets aren’t comfortable performing the procedure or don’t recommend. When I asked once years ago, my then-vet talked against it and said he wouldn’t do it to his own dog. My dogs are old now but if I were starting young, I’d ask my current vet. Rescues can’t afford to stomach tack. It’s not routine for one and, again, costly.

Please let us know how your Buddy is doing this mowing.

Hoping he pulls through, my man!!

Lost my Weimaraner to bloat. Heartbreaking .

Deep chested dogs are more prone to bloat, and a Great Dane is certainly a deep chested dog. I have a Doberman puppy (previously had a Dobie for 10 years as well). I used an elevated food bowl stand, a slow-feeder bowl, and made sure my Dobie was calm for at least 45 minutes before eating, and 45 minutes after eating, before any play or exercise was introduced. I hope your boy makes it through. Bloat is deadly.

Yeah we do those same things. He was a rescue and in terrible shape when we got him so he freaks out over food.

The Vet said it just happens and there’s nothing you can do to prevent it. It happened a couple hours after he ate. I’ve never had any issues with my past Danes and they lived to 11.5 and 13. I did have to put one down that I rescued after a couple of years that had cancer.

I hope y'all caught it in time and your dog is ok this morning. quote:If you have a deep chested dog I’d recommend getting the stomach tacked when you get them fixed I did not know that was even a thing... dadgummit I just had my golden retriever fixed last week- I would've asked for that bc my GSD died with bloat 4 years ago.

I used Azalea Lakes when I lived in Baton Rouge and when we had our last rescue fixed we paid to have her stomach tacked. I want to say it was only another $90 to $150 to have it done because they did it at the same time we were having her fixed.

Poor thing is missing her buddy and been up my arse all morning
