One of my Yorkie's bloated 2 months ago. It was so sad. Never thought it
could happen to a toy breed, but it did. It was a miracle, she lived, doing
great. So it's not just the larger breeds that get this.
Wouldn't wish it on anything, so painful.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Bloat - Food for Thought
> I was watching a special about Lackland Air Force Base and the training of
prospective combat dogs, mostly German Shepherds. After the dogs were
thoroughly screened for acceptability, they were sent for surgery. The
veterinarians automatically tack down the stomachs of all German Shepherds
entering the program, to prevent bloat. WOW! What does this say??? I
found it both scary and depressing. How bad is this problem becoming? Do
WE need to consider doing the same with our dogs? How much is structural
and how much is genetic?
> What percentage of dogs in the 60's or 70's faced this life-threatening
disability? Thought I'd give you some new food for thought.
