A terrible thing happened to our friend Beau today. He wasn't feeling well. His mom was very alert and saw that Beau wasn't acting right and got him to the hospital just in time.
Beau had bloat.
Bloat is an awful thing that happens to a dog's stomach and it's the second biggest killer of dogs after cancer. Beau's mom saved his life by getting him immediate medical help. He had surgery and our friend is going to be OK. He'll have to spend a few days in the hospital, but when he gets home and gets a lot of TLC, he'll be as good as new.
Go on over to Beau's blog and leave some get well wishes for him. Tell him Fudge sent you. I know when he gets home his mom will read him all the messages.
Our mom has posted information about bloat on our other blog Dogs-N-More. Be sure to learn the signs to watch for so you can have good results if it strikes at your house.

Our first mastiff died from this same condition. We had no chance of figuring it out, because he was gone before we got up that morning. Beau was very lucky indeed.
Boat is a scary thing we know! We will stop by Beau's blog - thank goodness his humans were well informed and thank you for the link to your post about bloat - we will have a read to refresh ourselves.
