Bloat is a
dangerous illness that can affect any dog no matter the age or breed. Bloat can
even affect dogs like the Samoyed. Bloat has been known to occur more often in
dogs with deep chest cavities including Rottweilers, Boxers and Great Danes.
Bloat can really affect any type of dog and it’s important to understand the
illness and recognize it immediately so that treatment can be received. Canine
bloat (also known as Gastric Dilation-Volvulus) is a serious and often fatal
condition. It happens when a dog’s stomach fills with gas, food or fluid
causing it to expand. The expansion of the stomach can apply pressure on other
organs causing blood to stop flowing to the heart and stomach lining. The
stomach can expand so much that it causes a tear in the wall and can even cause
the stomach to twist. Consult with your veterinarian Goodyear AZ to learn
more.
