bloat can kill a dog within 6 - 12 hours. i would immediately try to find a 24 hour vet hospital and take your dog in. all the money in the world won't replace your dog.

What exactly is your question...?
You didn't list the symptoms, but there is no medication for bloat. It can, indeed, kill a dog in a few hours if not tended to immediately.
Bloat is caused by the dog's stomach 'flipping over' on itself, sealing off the ends of the esophagus and intestines. Air builds up in the stomach, with no way to escape. It's extremely painful for a dog, and just plain cruel if you don't get it looked at because 'money is a problem'.
If your dog is sick, take it to a vet. If you think it's very sick, take it to an emergency vet. If you can't afford to do that, take it to the humane society and give it a chance to find a home that has the resources to care for him.

You can't get a diagnosis over the internet. Bloat is a serious and life threatening illness that dogs get. If it truly is bloat, or GDV, you need a skilled veterinarian to do surgery, but it may be too late. You didn't describe any symptoms your dog is having, or even what kind of dog you have. Bloat can happen in any dog but is most common in large dogs such as Great Danes. Find a 24 hour emergency vet in your area and take their advice. GL

Constipation in dogs is more common than many pet owners realize. Being able to recognize the symptoms is the first step toward bringing relief to your canine friend. And, once you have recognized your pet has a problem, there are a number of things you can do to help your canine friend get back to normal. For the most part, dog constipation is not difficult to recognize once you know what to look for. If your canine friend strains while attempting to have a bowel movement, it may be suffering from constipation. Straining while having a bowel movement can be a sign of other problems, however, such as infections caused by viruses, parasites, or E. coli bacteria.

Bloat, or gastric dilitation and voluvulus (GDV) is an accumulation of air in the stomach, often accompianied by twisting of the stomach itself, thus trapping the air. This diminished blood supply returning to the heart. Untreated, GDV will lead to shock and death. There is no medication for it, surgery is the only option. It is a life-threatening emergency, so if you think that your dog that your dog has a GDV, you should go to an emergency clinic as soon as possible. Can you list the symptoms that your dog is exhibiting? Is her stomach distended, especially on the left? Has she been vomiting? Is she hypersalivating?
If you have any doubts, go to an emergency clinic now, or call and consult with an emergecy veterinarian.

I worked for an animal well-being midsection that promoted and offered Royal Canin variety. it is not a crappy variety the two. a great variety of the diets they make are prescription, that's functional to the canines or cat with a undeniable scientific concern. The vet I worked with fed her animals this variety. as far by way of fact the vet getting paid by utilising Royal Canin to sell their nutrients, that did no longer happen. She offered the nutrients by way of fact she believed it became a sturdy variety. upload: the place oh the place carry out a little human beings get the thought veterinarians are no longer knowledgeable in nutrients? i think you think of in case you examine an editorial written by utilising everybody, then it may desire to be genuine.

Bloat (gastric dilatation-volvulus) is definitely life threatening.
There is NO medication to treat this. Surgery is the only treatment.

Bloat is where their stomach swells up normally after they eat and start running and jumping around. They get bloat from drinking their water to fast.
