Hopefully you took your dog to the vet, because if you didn't - and you are reading this he's probably already died right now.

Bloat is FATAL in all cases if left untreated - it usually only take 30 mins for it to take a turn for the worse.

Bloat KILLS. If this dog is not taken to the vet and he does have bloat he will die a horrible, painful death.

There are many different theories on the cause of bloat. Avoiding activity after meals and feeding smaller meals is recommended to help prevent it.

A dog that has bloat must have surgery to survive.
