Crazy last two days. I’m taking care of my sister’s dog while she’s out of town and not 24 hours after she leaves, Evie (her Standard poodle) comes down with bloat. The thing with Standards though is that they hide it SO well and her only visible symptoms were a tucked tail and some restless pacing. She didn’t even look physically bloated. I felt silly worrying at all because of how minimal her symptoms were, but I called my mom anyway (who is a born fear mongerer) and she insisted we rush to the EV. Sure enough Evie’s stomach was already completely twisted and they took her into surgery immediately. Still not sure what caused it, she hadn’t even been active yet that day, but I’m certainly glad we got her in so quickly. The only damage she had was some minor bruising on the stomach. I saw her today and the bruising on her incision though is a different story. Never seen anything like it- looks like she’s been in a train reck. And the way the swelling was so distended made it seem as if her abdomen were full of blood. Her vitals were fine though and she’s eating well and walking around so she should be good to come home tomorrow. I’m just shocked really by how it looks- I know they usually don’t look nearly this bad.
