Good stuff

Some of the longer standing members on here will probably remember my 'Breagh has gone all fat' thread. An emergency that I'll never forget.

I hope one day they will find the cause of this horrible condition.
Thank you SO MUCH for that, Hectorsmum. Your advice is extremely valuable. Despite all the jokes, dogs are really not all that good at farting/eliminating air, and anything that builds gas in their guts should be avoided like the plague. Even if it doesn't lead to bloat, it can lead to pain. We don't like pain. Boo pain.

So sorry you had to go through this.
