Bloat and/or DM
Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone ever had a dog diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy. Tok had been diagnosed a year and a half ago, and he was progressing very slowly. He had lost a lot of weight, but was still doing the stairs pretty well and running around outside. He had his slips, but was still very independent.
Then a month and a half ago he bloated, his stomach had twisted. It happened late at night, by the time we got him to the vet it was too late, his spleen also twisted, he was close to rupturing, and in heart failure. We had to euthanize him.
I found out only after that his DM placed him at a higher risk for Bloat. I wish I had known beforehand. Has anyone had any experiance with either of these conditions?
Jen and pack
For Tok, I will always remember the happier days when you howled and played as one of our pack. You will never be forgotten, and you can never be replaced. God has a special place for special creatures, and that is where we will meet again. Forever in our hearts, love always, your family.
