Do you own a Pomeranian or another small breed canine? If so, talk with your vet about canine bloat and ways to protect your pup from this often fatal disease. Bloat is a serious condition that requires immediate attention from your vet. If you suspect your Pomeranian has bloat call your vet immediately. Bloat is also known as Gastric-Volvulus and happens when unusual amounts of air, fluid, gas, food or even foam forms in the stomach. The pressure can cause the stomach to swell, which in turn blocks blood flow to vital organs such as the heart. It can also lead to low blood pressure, shock and even organ damage. The most general causes of bloat are stress, hereditary genes, temperament that causes stress, anxiety or aggression, rapid eating, eating of the wrong diet, eating gassy foods, drinking too much too quickly, etc. Call your animal hospital Bend, OR for more information.
