well yoshi bloated again today her stomach felt weird last night a while after i fed her so i gave her gas meds before bed. i woke up today and it seemed better. i went out to do some errands and came back and felt her again and sure enough it was bloat. i ran her to the vets and they decompresssed her stomach. it didn't twist or anything but she still had to have the fluids to keep her from going into shock.
she has to stay at the vets office for a couple days so they can watch her. but she should be home by the end of this week.
i hate bloat so much it makes me paranoid about even feeding my dog. i started buying the best canned food i could find after she bloated the first time. i didn't want to give her the dry food because she eats it so fast it makes me nervous. i tried to buy some dry food and slowly move back over but the first night she is back on only dry food she bloated again. i'm so scared of feeding her now that it's taken her way longer to gain back the weight then it should have. *she lost a lot of weight after first bloat and then later after having surgery to attach her stomach* she's gaining but not nearly as fast as i would like for her to.
sorry for the rant it's just these things seem to happen at the worse possible time. my friend i'm taking in gets here tomorrow. x.x
but this is a warning for anyone. if you think your dog MIGHT be bloating get them to the vet. it's way better to have them say no false alarm then to have to wait to long, go through this and end up loosing your dog because of time
everyone please send yoshi get well hopes. she did great during surgery but now just needs to get better
