No matter when they leave us, it’s always too soon.

Our beautiful sweet Memo is no longer with us.

She passed away this morning due to GDV.

(Gastric-Dilation-Volvulus, colloquially known as BLOAT.)

Not all veterinarians realize that this can be a problem in Basset Hounds.  Know the symptoms: distress, distended and painful abdomen, difficulty breathing, excessive salivation, and retching without vomiting.  Time is of the essence, bloat is often fatal within hours.
