(Canine Colic) How to prevent bloat in Canine? 怎可以避免狗土脹及胃扭轉?



Here are some easy tips on preventing bloat in Canine:    
以下關於防止土脹及胃扭轉的方法
 


  • Exercise before meals rather than after meals
  • Wait at least one hour after eating or drinking before allowing exercise.  This is the main factor shown to prevent bloat.  Heavy activity increases the risk of stomach twist. Instead of heavy activity, take a leisurely walk, it is better and can also aid digestion. 
  • Do not allow your dog to eat fast and a large amount at the same time.  You can do picking up your dog's bowl a few times during meal time.  Dogs that eat fast tend to swallow a lot of air, which can lead to bloat. 
  • Feed 2 to 3 meals during the day rather than one large meal. So your dog's stomach and intestine will not be completely empty or too acidity. And, your dog will not be too hungry and end up eating too much and too fast. 
  • Don't allow excessive water drinking immediately before or after a meal.  Abnormal amounts of water have the potential to delay breakdown of food and lead to gas production.  Also ingesting a lot of water can cause gas and will also cause dry food to expand in the stomach and put more pressure on the stomach wall. 
  • DO NOT raise the food bowl.   
  • Feed a diet that is mostly meat (high protein) and high in fiber with minimal amounts of grain and carbohydrates. Some vets recommend completely eliminating grain and carbs if your dog has ever experienced bloat before.  
  • Don't encourage your dog to roll over.  Though a low risk, the twisting action has been shown to lead to bloat.  In fact, some veterinarians do not rotate a dog over their back while anesthetized due to this risk.  
  • Same as people, make meals a peaceful, stress-free time
  • High-stressed dogs are at higher risk of bloat than those that are calm and relaxed.  If your dogs are high-strung, try Flower Essence to claim him down.  See http://holistichorsecareasia.blogspot.com/2011/12/flower-essence.html and http://holistichorsecareasia.blogspot.com/2012/01/training-issues-flower-essence-can-help.html 
  • 1 Tbs of apple cider vinegar given right after each meal will promote an acidic environment in the stomach and intestine and may help with digestion. 
  • Add probiotics to diet to help restore healthy bacteria to assist digestion

  • 飯前運動而不是飯後運動
  • 吃飯飯後不要馬上進行劇烈運動, 最 少要等一小時劇烈運動增加胃扭轉 的風險相比劇烈運動,悠閒漫步可 以助消化.
  • 不要讓你的狗隻得太快和大量。  你可以在你隻狗食飯的時候拿 起狗碗幾次來放慢的速度。狗吃得太快往往會吞下大量的空氣而導致土脹。 
  • 一日餵 23 , 不要餵一大餐. 餵多 餐可以避免你的狗的胃部及腸部太空及酸度太高 及多餐可以避免你的狗 太土餓而變得食得太多及太快.  
  • 不要讓你的狗隻飯前或飯後立即飲大量的水。水可能延遲食物分解,導致生產大量氣而導致土脹.   飲大量的 水可導乾糧擴大張給胃壁加更多的壓力
  • 不要提高食狗碗。 
  • 主要餵肉類(高蛋白)和高纖維飲食含極少量的穀類和碳水化合物。如果你的狗之前有經歷過膨脹,有些獸醫會建議完全消除穀類和碳水化合物
  • 不要鼓勵您的狗打圈。雖然是低風險但打圈可導致膨脹。 
  • 和人一樣, 食飯時間要平靜及無壓力 
  • 每餐後給你隻狗 1湯匙 的蘋果醋, 蘋果醋有助促進在胃和小腸的酸性環境,可以幫助消化
  • 添加益生菌到飲食,以幫助恢復健康的細菌,而改善消化
