My sympathy to Brenda on her loss. No matter how many dogs we have it
always hurts to lose one. I am curious though, what is the difference between
toxic gut and bloat? Does one lead to the other? Any info is appreciated.

They are separate entities completely and do not progress from one to
another. Bloat/torsion is a result of stomach gases building up and they do
go
from a bloat to a torsion. Sometimes the spleen torsions instead of the gut.
Prompt surgical procedures can often recover your animal.
Toxic gut is a bacterial overgrowth that breaks the intestine down very
quickly which as a result causes "intestinal death".....necrotic tissue starts
very rapidly.
This is explained in the simplest of terms.....there is a lot more going on
for sure.
