Bloat and/or DM

[critters]

I can't recall ever hearing of a connection between DM and GDV, but that doesn't mean much. You might find this DM discussion interesting.

I'm very sorry to hear about Tok, he was a beautiful dog.

I've never heard of Degenerative Myelopathy before but I did some research on it and it sounds terrible.

As for bloat I did have a dog die from it about 5 years ago. At that time I had no idea what bloat even was. By the time I could get our Keisha to the vet she was just about gone. She died on the table.
It's something VERY, VERY horrible to watch and I'm sorry you had to see your poor boy go through it.

My condolences to you.

So sorry about Tok, that's very sad. I worry about bloat an try to be very careful with their feeding. There is one PTer, christiansmommy, who lost their dog to bloat about a year ago, Dale the Swissie. She was devastated. I guess certain breeds are more suseptible.
