He was on one of the best Raw Diets available, probiotics, enzymes, ate from a slow feed bowl in as controlled of an environment as possible and it still happened. Wish we knew more about GDV. I was very lucky, he has made a full recovery and now has a tacked stomach. However, every meal I feed him, albeit several very small meals now, all come with much anxiety as we still do not know the cause(s). I struggle with what food to feed now, how much, how frequent, if there are any supplements I should be using, you name it... I only wish there were more answers to this very scary condition that afflicts and kills so many dogs. Anyone know of current research underway now??

This past Saturday I lost my Fila Brasileiro of almost 11 years to bloat. After a trip to the emergency room to relieve the gas (no volvulus yet), she still died a couple of hours later. She was on a raw diet but had a tendency to gulp down her food. More than likely, her age contributed to the condition. I am heartbroken but thankful for your prevention suggestions. I wish I had read up on this earlier but was never really concerned about bloat because all of my dogs (3 left now) are on a raw diet. Best, Sabine You said in your article that you have yet to see bloat in a dog on a raw diet.

So, two months ago I bought a german shepherd puppy to cheer her (Buff) and Shadow (slightly younger) up before they became too old to enjoy the exhuberance, to prepare for security step in and - might as well mop up after two at the same time before I get too old to do that! I also have a ginger cat (Jachin) who graces my life with his presence. Personally, a healthy-ish 68, I don't use mainstream medicine for my own health challenges, and apply the same principles to the animals who live with me. We eat as naturally as we can, exercise, play and sleep (I have to work, having no pension - which is where my desire for the free course comes in. The USdollar/SArand exchange rate make it absolutely impossible to buy on my odd jobs) The puppy, Ecco, turned out to have a heart murmer (I do take them to the vet for their first year's vaccinations, and was so pleased to find someone of your professional calibre who seems to have the same approach to vaccinations) - which brings me to how I found you. Looking for natural immune boosters and other tips for Ecco's heart condition on the internet - there was Andrew Jones - and his wealth of generous information! I have downloaded and read Heal your Pet at Home, and read your letter every day. (Hope you and Lewis and the rest of your family are well settled in your new home?) SO, I actually don't know what more I will get from the giveaway course, and naturally there may be many more deserving causes BUT, we thought we'd put our request out there anyway. Whether I get it or not, it'snice to have this oppportunity to express appreciation for your attitude and your thoughtful tips, May you be well. ‘My’ older dog has become incontinent.

Of course I love all animals but dogs are brilliant. I lost two of the most wonderful huskie breeds to cancer ,a year apart from each other and I still miss them every day. the pain of losing them was unbearable. I have started a Doggie Day Care in my home and sometimes people just don't want to spend the money on a vet, so I would like to learn how to help my dogs ,especially with ear infections.
