Bloat in cattle or sheep (rudiment animals with multiple stomachs) is deadly....many times we treated bloat on the farm by forcing gas out; in extreme cases, with emergency surgery in the field to save lives.

Did the vet say the she was in danger of dying?? I'm curious.....can dogs eat themselves to death like rudiment animals can? Does anyone know? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif
(If so, all our beloved beagles would be the first to do it!!) :redface:

Wow.....

blockage is always a fear with a trash-compactor-dog like our beloved beagles I suppose....

thanks for the info! It sounds like you had a scary situation and I'm so glad it resolved itself happily (I hope the ex-husband felt bad!)
