New mail man, opened the gate which says "DOGS DO NOT OPEN GATE" to look for the mail box which is 3 feet in front of the gate, no reason to enter the gate, well then we didnt know the gate had been opened my wife let the dogs into the gated portion of the yard and the gate was opened and not shut properly, the dogs ate outside, then figured out the gate was opened and ran out. My male came rite to the front door and the female had to be called in, but the excitement after she ate made her stomach twist... These are very high strung hunting dogs, they do the same thing every day, they eat and then sleep, because they are barrel chested they are prone to bloat which is there stomach twisting in their body...
Just got a call from the vet they are going to put her to sleep, the only option is surgery and that doesnt work out well, plus she has had some issues already so, its the rite thing to do...
Just sucks...
