BLOAT (Gastric Torsion) – Links and research provided
Howllo Fellow Hounds and keeping current about issue lovers: Devon has updated bassethoundtown.com about BLOAT. I agree with her that this has to be a forefront issue for the members of our town.
I have added a new page to my Navigation area based upon Devon’s suggestion and internet research. This area is just to the right of what you are reading right now. It is called,
BLOAT (Gastric Torsion) – Links and research provided.
This is so huge to our community as our beloved breed is pre-disposed to this malady. Please take time to read up on it. Devon and I will be adding other links for your education.
BLOAT IS AN EMERGENCY AND NEEDS TO BE TREATED AS SUCH. HOUNDS CAN DIE WITHIN AN HOUR FROM THIS. PLEASE READ!
Thank you Devon for making sure I added this to my website. All hound owners can benefit from this.

Thankyou Cat and Devon for this very important information. We love you!

Thanks Cat! Bloat kills way too many furbabies. I hope everyone reads this info and is prepared in case it happens to one of their dogs.
Someone posted a link on the Daily Drool about the signs of bloat and I printed it out and taped it to the inside of my kitchen cabinet for emergencies. I’m not sure if that link was included in your info but it’s called “Quick Reference Guide for GDV.” It lists all the symptoms and what is happening to the dog and what steps you should take. I feel better having it because I know I won’t be thinking clearly if this happens to one of my hounds.
Judy, that is so wonderful. Thank you so much for adding this information. I am going to go look for that link. Your suggestion will help many, I am sure. Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
Wow, I just found it. Your right it is fantastic.
