I am so sorry to hear this, Frank. Keena is our sweet lab and she is 14 ½. I never heard of this malady but will definitely check into it.

Many of you know that Karen and I are Doberman lovers... Actually dog lovers who have Dobermans. Last night we lost our old boy, Wolf, to torsion, also known as bloat. Once it happens, there is no cure beyond surgery. We tried to save him but we could not. He was almost 11 years old.
If any of you own deep-chested dogs like Labs, Dobes, German Shepherds or Great Danes, please learn about this. Any dog can die from it, but deep-chested dogs are the most likely.
Please read about this and understand how you can help prevent it. We did everything right but he died anyway.
He was our baby.
