yes i know of a dog that was fed raw and he bloated. he was working lines. his sire bloated too. don't know what he ate. he was not all that young. the son was. i don't remember the pedigree nor who owned him and can't think of the sire's name but he was a known dog. sorry i feel it's a genetic issue or predisposition and it's in all lines. some more than others which is apparent with dog after dog dropping dead. susan www.sander-haus.com Home of Sander-Haus German Shepherd Dogs Quality West German Bloodlines ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
