I know I've already said some things on this subject and admitted I've never
had a case in around 40 yrs.
However, if you will I'd like to know what is "SIBO"? I've had a couple
horses colic thru the years and
everyone agreed it has a lot to do with feeding -- timing, type, condition
of the food itself, and the animal
rather than any inherited gene. One thing tho, a horse cannot vomit, so
we'd put mineral oil up their noses
and walk and walk them so they'd not lie down and roll and make it worse.
The few I had colic survived
and never had any future problems. It seemed, at the time, to be a case of
bad food on the one and the
other had gotten into a bag and gorged herself. Just would like to know as
it's a bad mess. Norma no L

I don't know what I've done wrong, but I've had three of the Hooligans bloat
w/torsion.
Echo had just finished his supper seconds before he walked into the
livingroom in distress. The food didn't have
a chance to do anything (kibble, wet food, mixed w/water). Within 10
minutes he looked like he had swallowed
a beachball - a quick trip to the ER saved his life.
JR bloated w/torsion a couple hours after he ate (kibble, meat, mixed
w/broth).
Kelly bloated w/torsion on a 100% completely empty stomach!!! Barb W.
thinks SIBO may have triggered this one.
Gayle & the Hooligans!

I have only had two dogs bloat in almost 30 years. Mother and son. After
talking to the owner of the mom's sire,
I was told almost everything he sired died of bloat and he lived to be
twelve. Ann
