You are welcome.

I would not put any time on it. The thing with torsion and/or bloat you could get them to the vet within 5 minutes and not change the prognosis.

As they say, it all depends.

As I said it cannot hurt but it COULD help.

what a complete trauma for you, I am so glad that Phoebe is doing well and you are her hero for spotting it and driving like a maniac to get to vets

To SB yes I am aware it is the simethicone but as I said I have had a very trying day with a sister who has cancer and seems on the verge of a breakdown. At the time of your once again curt reply I was not not in the right frame of mind to remember why Gavisocn was recommended to me. Once I went off to do tea and clear my head a little it returned.

What I do know is it was recommended by someone I trust that is why I shared the information.

Please rest assured I research everything I give my dogs so I am not likely to give anything detrimental to their health or likely to pass information on which I would not be happy with myself.

I hope that satifies you.

Anyway, poor old you and Phoebe! What a scare for you. Well done to you for your quick reaction and to the vets for saving her. I'm so glad she's ok
She has to stay calm. Lucky that my best friend works at the vets so she has been popping in to give her kisses and txtin me updates
