Hi everyone,
Over this weekend, I noticed my bulldogās stomach started to look a bit bigger than usual. I immediately researched the symptoms of bloat, and discovered that, other than the distended stomach, he showed no other signs. His gums look normal, he hasnāt tried to throw up, his laying down/sleeping habits are still normal, and doesnāt seem to mind when I touch his stomach. However, I know that (just like with any other condition) it can happen differently, so I called the vet and set up an appointment for tomorrow. Should I be so concerned? I plan to monitor him closely between now and then to see if his symptoms get any worse. If it means anything, I recently switched his food from Orijen Six Fish to Horizon Legacy with salmon (weāre feeding him the measurement the food suggests and splitting it to twice a day), and I donāt know if the gas is from that, or from something else.
If you have had the unfortunate experience with bloat, what was it like, if you donāt mind my asking?
Sorry for the jumbled post; I just want to make sure Iām doing everything I can for my pup.
