I was not able to see it

Thank god when Loulou had it. I was able go get her to the vet fast. I had never heard of bloat before . She didn't swell up or anything. She just couldn't hold anything down and would not stop throwing up. She was one sick dog.  Before I found  BDW I went this . I pray no dog ever gets it.

When my bluetick had it - I could tell. Her stomach was fat &

full of air, she couldn't get comfortable laying down & moaned.  Vet took her in imediatly @ 11:00 pm did emergancy surgery & sewed her stomach down so it wouldn't happen again. But that was a totally different breed. Just thought I would share incase of the moaning and uncomfortableness.

I just don't remember seeing Loulou

Tummy flat! I remember her non stop throwing up. Not sleeping not laying down just missable. You could see in her eyes she was sick . Her vet said if I hadn't brought her in she sold of been dead in a few hours.  I never hear of fhe word bloat before or what it could do. I do believe she got this over me being just plain stupid. Switch dog food, dish on the floor. Feeding her brisket and ribs everything I thought was making her feel love. I was killing my own dream dog. Boy did I have a quick 101 in dogs  what to do and what not to do. Believe md now I know and no one will even think about giving her a crumb without checking with me first. That answer is always no .
