1. Yes, it can happen any time, for any reason, sometimes for no known reason at all.
2. Feed AFTER excercise, and after the dog has had time to cool down. Don't ever let the dog tank up on a bunch of water, especially right after heavy excercise.
I just stopped by and have not read all the posts, I will try and get thru them. but wanted to add that some breeds or types of dogs are more prone to bloat and torsion than others. Large deep chested breeds are more prone than most. Feeding your dog 2 or 3 times a day instead of once does a LOT to prevent bloat/torsion. a single large meal can cause bloat. adding water to the dry kibble can help a little also. Some people believe that feeding a large breed in a raised dish will help prevent bloat, I have no experience with that so research might prove true or not. No heavy exorcise after a big meal.
In some breeds that are very prone to bloat or in a dog that has bloated previously tacking the stomach to the abdominal wall can prevent future torsions from occurring.
I raise and show dogs, have had quite a few breeds that are prone to bloat. I have been lucky and avoided it, feeding on a regular schedule at least 2 x a day etc etc.
