Canine bloat is a serious condition that requires immediate care. Ask your vet about you Bichon Frise’s risk for bloat and find out what signs to look for. If you suspect your Bichon Frise has bloat call your vet or emergency veterinarian 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 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, eating habits such as elevated food bowls, rapid eating, eating of the wrong diet, eating gassy foods, drinking too much too quickly, deep and narrow build of chest, etc. Consult with your vets San Diego CA for more information.
