Bloating Dog Video - Page 1

Why in God's name would you spend that time videotaping a dog that was suffering from bloat, rather than getting him in the car and to the vet's office?  I know it's not your video.

I was thinking the same thing..;(
Did the video say they were video taping while they were awaiting someone's arrival?,,I was confused about that myself...

the comentary explains it......looks like they just did not know what it was...

LF,

The main reason this video impacted me was because I had never seen bloat either. Well, I thought I hadn't..:(   
 My Great Dane, bless her heart, did exhibit similar symptoms on many occasions and until now I never recognized it as bloat (abdomen was not distended like the dog in the video)..She lived a long and healthy 12 1/2 years in spite of my ignorance...Sigh...

Thanks, Ladyfrost.  My speakers don't work.  

It's not good what happened to the dog, but it is good that it's on video for everyone to see.  I personally have never seen a dog experiencing bloat....  So now I know what to look for in case it does happen one day.

Well I had the unpleasant experience firsthand-except my shepherd was also SCREAMING in agony-the only time I took was to try to reach my regular vet-it was a holiday and about 10pm I didn't give him much time to respond before I was on the phone getting directions to the University Missouri teaching hospital and telling them what I was bringing in-I drove 90 the whole 20 miles-I'm thankful I was home and that I reconigized what was happening-as he bloated with torsion-fortunately we won that battle with no ill effects.  It led me into a lot of research-we now feed three times a day-limit exercise/water before & after feeding and I constantly observe all six dogs for any odd behaviors of the slightest-the dog never had a reoccurance, he was gasoplexitied during the surgery-that happen at 4 years of age and he is 12.5, but as such he is watched even closer.  Two of my others have also has gastropleies as precautions-certainly not an experience I ever want to relive!

And just so you all know:  all dogs do NOT swell;  some just torsion and drop dead as it affects their heart. Really a sad disease.

OMG instead of taking the poor dog to vet this guy had the time to make a video while the poor animal is suffering, a few months back my dogs had a bloat and within minute I rushed her to the vet which saved her life and this asshole waited 
so long.I wish I could kick his ass and smash his vidoe in his face.I am so angry when i see this video.
