I'm so sorry to hear this :( I hope she pulls through. Going to see her will help her recovery. We had Jax at the EV for a weekend for seizures. They did not believe he would make it. We went to visit and like Flower, as drugged as he was, he tried to lift his head. It breaks my heart to see those photos as I have some just like them. After we left the clinic he really turned around. They said they believe that our visit helped to pull him out of it. I hope yours has the same affect on Flower. Sending thoughts and prayers your way.

If she's not ready to give up fight with her. Thor tried as hard as he could to hold on for me before he passed.

What was she doing that caused her to bloat? Do you remember? I know its difficult right now but since I lost Thor to bloat I'm more inclined to find out more about this.

Positive vibes and thoughts your way fight with her!

oh, we are FIGHTING!! she was laying on the floor when I noticed she had swelling.she was still out of it,had a little water(I pulled water and gave her a little at a time),she was not active at all. the vet who did her surgery and my personal vet feel the adhesions were the cause of the bloat and the pancreatitis triggered something.they feel that she was going to bloat,just a matter of when(from the adhesions).but, honestly,they are still unable to pinpoint,why the adhesions?!she is kind of a mystery. of course Filas are notorious for having off the wall things happen!

Wow since the forum has completely gone communist ( I'll wait for that to be deleted)

I just wanted to edit to add. Thank you for sharing I know its hard. There's so much we DON'T know about bloat with so much controversy.
