I'd love to see those sparkling, pearly whites, Rocky! Thanks for the info. about the tacking Karen. My vet's young, under 40 and stuided at Tufts, so I'll bet he knows about it, but I never asked! I'm sure it's a life saver for animals prone to bloat. But all things considered, I think you made the right decision with Rocky, Karen though I understand your concern; such a scary condition! Give that beautiful boy with the sweet breath a hug and kiss for me!
