Poor Chewy!! I'm glad he is better. I just got back to this thread.

Just a warning to everyone: even if you suspect that it could be bloat, please, please contact your vet immediately!! Two weeks ago, a friend of the family lost their 2 yr. old Dogue de Bordeaux from bloat. Our town's K-9 officer was also lost to bloat a few years back. This is a LIFE-THREATENING situation. I have the symptoms hanging on my fridge, just so we are always aware of them. GSDs have a high incidence of bloat.

So glad Chewy is ok.
