This is Simon, my 8yo basset hound.
A few days ago, he started to act really strange and I sensed something wasn't right. For the few days, he didn't really have an appetite and didn't seem interested in eating at all. First thought was get him new food. Other then that nothing was really unusual. On Monday night, I was in the kitchen and noticed I hadn't seen him all evening. Usually he'll run out if he hears me doing things around the apartment. When I went to check on him he was wobbling around and seemed confused! What frightened me was how he arched his back in a C like posture, tail and head down, and he was slightly shaking and licking his lips. While trying to comfort him I noticed his body felt firmer then usual. I took him in and was told he needs a Gastropexy performed immediately. I’ve been criticized for not rushing him to the vet immediately, but I didn’t for a couple reasons. His stomach hadn’t actually ‘bloated,’ it was the odd behavior that had me worried. According to the vet, the risk of not getting the Gastropexy done immediate can lead Simon's stomach, spleen, and blood vessels to twist. This can lead to loss of blood flow to his stomach which can cause death! They quoted me 1200-1800 for the procedure, which I have no idea how I'm going to be able to help Simon! He needs have it done immediately. If anyone can help out it would mean the world for Simon and me.
Please I advise, if you have a deep chested dog (basset hound, dobermans, labs, akitas, huskies, poodles, great danes, ect) you should make sure you’re educated with bloat! Bloat is a very scary thing and can kill your dog fast. Please if anyone is out there that can help it would mean so much.
