Re: Dog throws up after eating
I have a lab that used to do the same thing. Put the dog's food bowl up on a small box or some other means of elevating the food. I also put a good sized rock in his bowl with the food...it slows him down and doesn't let him wolf it. Raising the feed is an excellent idea. Helps with several potenti...

I wouldn't say she is gulping her food. I've actually used a baking sheet a few times to feed her to see if that was the problem and it didn't matter. I actually did this this morning.

Re: Having "fits" while in truck crate...
She digs going for rides in the truck/car....as long as its not in the crate. Probably just mad not being in the air conditioned cab with music.
She has never gotten sick during/after riding in the truck or car. We drove her home to Salt Lake from Bend OR in a car and never had a problem.

The guess is knowing when the dog is bloated and prior to its gut twisting. Even if I had that stuff on hand...not sure it would have done any good since when we finally recognized the symptoms, it was probably too late.

There's no definite list of factors that cause bloat 100% of the time. Studies have been unable to replicate gastric/stomach torsion on a regular basis. It's a bad deal. Most common suggestion as stated is giving enough time between feeding and activity and even then there's no guarantee. In some ca...
