BLOAT
Know the signs

Bloat (GDV) is a life-threatening emergency that if not treated immediately is fatal.

Deep chested breeds like Standard Poodles are at higher risk but this can happen in any breed of dog.

⚠️ Signs to watch for:

▪️Sudden swollen or hard belly

▪️Trying to vomit but nothing comes out

▪️Restlessness, pacing, or inability to settle

▪️Excessive drooling

▪️Collapse or weakness

Ask your vet about gastropexy surgery.

If you suspect bloat, go to the vet right away. Minutes matter.
