I have a couple of things to share with everyone. First, on a lighter note, we are currently losing our competition and I could really use your help! I would deeply appreciate it if you could take a quick second to support us and Vote for Me 🐾💔.

But the main reason I’m writing today is to share some heartbreaking news. I don’t normally post about my animals passing, but this one hit differently. It was completely unexpected and deeply tragic. I am sharing this in the hope that it can educate and save another family from this pain.

Despite always taking every possible precaution, including having his stomach tacked (gastropexy) to prevent it and waiting over two hours after meals before letting him run and it STILL happened. My sweet Loki passed away this weekend from GDV (Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus), commonly known as bloat or a twisted gut.

Please, do not exercise or let your dog run around immediately before or after feeding.

Our strict rules to prevent bloat:

• Before meals: Wait at least 30 minutes after exercise before feeding.

• After meals: Wait a full 2 hours after eating before letting them freely run, play, or exercise.

• Water intake: Carefully monitor them if they are gulping down large amounts of water.

Primary risk factors for GDV:

• Eating a single large meal per day instead of smaller, split meals

• Eating food or drinking water too rapidly

• Using raised food bowls (contrary to old advice, this can increase risk)

• Exercising too soon before or after a meal

CRITICAL symptoms to watch for:

• Non-productive retching: Trying to vomit with nothing coming up

• Restlessness: Pacing, whining, or an inability to get comfortable

• Physical changes: A swollen, firm, or painful abdomen

• Distress signals: Excessive drooling or foaming at the mouth

• Shock signs: Rapid breathing, pale gums, weakness, or sudden collapse

If you notice any of these signs, it is an absolute emergency. They can pass within a couple of hours. Take your dog to a vet immediately.

Rest in peace, Loki. 💔
