	I'm having a hard time with the sudden death of my 7 month old puppy, Dobby. Last Friday we dropped him of at a pet sitter's for a a weekend ski trip. Saturday morning, the sitter called to tell me he had dies sometime overnight and the x-rays has shown it was due to bloat.He NEVER had any symptoms at home before and I am just racked with guilt that it was stress that caused him to bloat. I also thought he would have made some noise in the middle of the night, but none of the other dogs woke up. I know I'll never know, but just wanted to see if anyone else has gone through this.
