Date Posted: 23:15:02 08/28/09 Fri In reply to: 's message, "From Gina" on 11:39:34 08/28/09 Fri Gina, I hope things will come together better than when I was in Michigan. Man....it makes me feel even worse that i could have responded and got him to the doctor and maybe he wouldn't have died. I never heard of "bloat". They were saying something about the intestines getting twisted, which is gross. When I went to pick up Shane's ashes :( there was a lady there writing a check for $2000 for her 3 year old great dane that was bloated. Shane always had problems with his I.G. He even burped frequently and would get diarhea if he he was given too much soft food. I mixed rice with his food the last two years of his life. Anyhoo....hope to chat with you soon.
