Good information on Bloat or Gastric Torsion, it is when the stomach twists and your dog can literally die in a matter of 1-2 hours. We make every dog that stays with us rest for 1 hour or more after every meal. Bloat can even happen in little dogs as well!

Last night before Bed, my old lady, îara bloated. Luckily, we noticed her symptoms right away and we got her treated quickly. She made it and she's fine this morning.

Bloat is common in our breed. I repeat. BLOAT IS COMMON IN OUR BREED. We had a dog bloat just in October and then it reared its ugly head again last night

Every Cane Corso owner should know the signs of bloat and know what to do in case of emergency.

1. Drooling
2. Retching or Dry heaving
3. Vomit or inability to vomit
4. Anxiety or restlessness
5. Tight stomach ( usually left side) painful
6. Inability to p**p ( though diarrhea in spurts can happen in early stages)
7. Getting up and down, or downward dog

Bloat doesn't discriminate, bloat can come out of left field for reasons you didn't think about. It's not just over feeding, it can happen after regular feeding. It is more prevalent in larger breeds, like the Cane Corso, and the older the dog,the higher the risk.

The best preventative is to tack, or Gastropexy and the best time to do so is during spay or neuter, but it can be done after as well.

Always be aware of the amount of food you're feeding, and be aware of water intake as well.

Restrict exercise after eating and drinking, atleast an hour or more.

There are many opinions on Bloat and What Causes it and prevents it. If you have any tips, tricks or concerns, let's talk about it in the comments.

Raider never shared his ball, ever. But he has been with Tucker and I think it’s due to Tuck man’s senior status maybe? We need a new one lol but Tucker loves that ball!

Khaki is doing a tiny little dance, celebrating the fact that he's been ADOPTED!!!!

MUTTVILLE(San Francisco CA): Khaki (Shih Tzu/Poodle | Male | 4 lbs (toy).
What goes with everything? That’s right. Khaki! This little four-pound mini-Maltese might be neutral in color but he is never dull. Tiny floppy ears, waggy tail, and the sweetest brown eyes, Khaki might blend in with the cushions at a Restoration Hardware sale but once he’s home with you, he’ll be the brightest attraction in your house. Look at him strut around with the confidence of a rainbow jumpsuit! Nothing stops…

Ticks….I loathe them. Did you know that there is a medical problem called Tick Paralysis in dogs? I have seen it many times while I was living/working in the Auburn area. Dog presents paralyzed, LOADED with ticks, hospitalize patient and remove ticks. Sometimes they are so bad they need fluids etc. The dog a few hours later gets up and walks. It is crazy!

The saliva of an infected tick contains neurotoxins that disrupt the connection between nerves and muscles. The American dog tick, Lone star tick, Rocky Mountain wood tick, and Deer tick or Blacklegged tick are all known to cause tick paralysis. Please if living or visiting tick areas ie, grasses, hiking trails or off trail trekking use tick prevention!

Monterey SPCA has a big boy up for adoption!

🎶Sunny day.....sweepin' the clouds awaaaaayyyyyyyy🎶
Meet Big Bird - a beautiful, energetic 25 year old Goffin's Cockatoo. Big Bird is a bit bashful at first, but when you get to know him you'll see that personality come out! Big Bird has a lot to say and especially loves to greet the people he knows. Cockatoos are pretty special, so Big Bird would be happiest in a home with someone who has experience with large exotic birds. If you would like more information about how to adopt Big Bird please call the SPCA at 831-373-2631.

Please read this. It is about fostering pets and also about getting them back. I seriously felt this with my sweet Lulu💜

Where my lab people at?? This boy is deaf but they are training him with hand signals! He would love to have another dog companion as well. Please read the original post, he is being fostered in San Jose!💜

ACCEPTING NO MORE CALLS
MOOSE (5-Year-old Neutered Male, 89 Pounds)

Background: Moose and Mia, formerly Zeus and Zia, came to Lab Rescue via Susanville after a livestock rescue volunteer was alerted about 2 dogs left abandoned in a backyard. The volunteer was able to reach their owner who had relocated and told her to "just shoot them." She made a daily trip to feed/water these 2 for weeks while she searched for rescue and was connected to one of GGLRR's fosters. Long story short, a village banded together to rescue them (livestock rescue volunteer, vet, boarding facility in Susanville, volunteer pilot, GGLRR). Sadly, we had to euthanize Mia at the end of October as she stopped eating. An emergency trip to the vet revealed she had a mass, likely cancerous, and inoperable.

From Moose's Foster: Moose is a sweet, smart goofy guy. Has great house manners, walks nicely on leash, sleeps well through the night, loves to meet/hang out with people. He loves to chase 2 tennis balls at the same time so he can bring them both back in the same mouthful. Moose is deaf. I’ve been teaching him hand signals.

Moose is a wonderful fella, easy to live with. His ideal situation would be an active home with another dog from whom to pick up cues. For anyone who wants to do a deep dive about deaf dogs, check out “ The Complete Guide to Owning a Deaf Dog” by Amanda Bradley. Moose also comes with an in-person training session with me.

From Moose's Rescue Rep: Moose is a loving, resilient dog. Having been abandoned, he needs a home where he will be a cherished member of the family. Moose exhibits the lovable Lab qualities of sweetness, a laid-back nature. We think Moose would do best in a home with another canine sibling. Mia was older than Moose but provided calm guidance. Cats unknown.

Medical: Neutered, chipped, updated on vax. Heartworm/fecal tested (neg). On flea/tick/heartworm preventative. Appears to have hearing loss.

Located in: San Jose

If you are interested in adopting Moose, contact Rescue Rep Kris at [email protected]. Tell her what city you reside in, a bit about yourself/dog experience, why you would be a good fit
