We had a basset that survived one session of gastric torsion (bloat) with emergency surgery ( opened him up from stem to stern) but didn't survive the second episode. Both times the problem was caused by deathly fear of fireworks. It was very apparent something serious was happening as he looked like an over-inflated ballon and was in serious distress. As the vet said, this requires immediate action.
