The happiest bloat I'd ever seen! He came bopping into the office, tail wagging, dragging his owner happily inside but his belly was like a drum. I told his owner after surgery that everything went as well as I could have asked, it helps when the owners know the signs as soon as they see them. The cues he gave here were pretty vague: woke them up with his whimpering and was "just standing there" looking uncomfortable and drooling. He had started the dry heaves on the way in.
