Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't so I'll have some on standby if ever needed.[scary

That is what I have in my car and in my house. Infacol and Windeze are the main simethicone containing products available OTC
From what im gathering a bloat although still dangerous isnt as much as a torsion as my master class in bloat consisted of getting alot of infacol in to phoebe and walking her untill she is either sick or has a big poo. and go to vets in neither happen within 10 mins.
What do you all think about that?
Good idea, as the simethicone is designed to speed up the rate at which the gas leaves the body, either by eructation (burp) or the other end!
i would still go to vets, but i suppose its handy to know should i ever be stuck or far away
Hope all goes well

Thankyou so much to everybody for your well wishes. Will post a few photos of her when shes home so you can have a look at the stitches- if u want. I like seeing surgery wounds but im just plain weird

Thanks KatyGeorge for this thread...it has raised awareness in a lot of us, so at least some good has come from your trauma.
Note to self: buy shares in company making Infacol...

I can see chemists and supermerkets being denuded of simethicone containing products; mothers being kept awake at night be colicky infants, people with indigestion clutching their stomachs....................
Sorry.......

its also a bit of laugh or cry. But im smart enough to know nobody is laughing at phoebe having a torsion just a bit of the crazy and the aftermath
