Sue,

This is one topic that has always scared me to death.
I really like the larger breed dogs and as you know they
are the ones most likely to get bloat. Sometimes when
Buddy seemed restless, or uncomfortable, etc., I would
go and feel his stomach.(like you could tell by feeling).

One thing I would like to know in future is if giving first
aid involves giving pills and the stomach is already twisted
can the dog swallow the tablets? This to me is one really
scary subject, because it can kill a dog within hours. Liz.
