Great article. We were looking into Great danes before we got Silva and I was told by 2 breeders that this is common in that breed.

Very nice article...I am saving it to put in with my puppy packs. I just had a friend who lost 2 mastiffs in 3 months to this horrible condition....!

Bump for everyone who hasn't read it or would like to take another look.

It includes very simple and great tips on how to prevent bloat.

I lost an akita to bloat. I wasn't sure what it was, but I had a bad feeling. I coundnt get her in to see her regular vet( not telling them i thought it might be bloat) the vet I did end up taking her to, waited 6 HOURS!!!! to do any kind of xray, apparentlly SHE didn't know what it was. By the time I got her into the emergancy vet (at 1am) the opened her up to do the surgery and came back to tell me to say my goodbyes, there was nothing they could do, it was too late. If you have even the SMALLEST feeling it might be bloat, dont wait and MAKE them see you!!!This was 15 tears ago and I still cry... I still blame myself.
