Why do dogs die from bloat

Bloat is a condition that not only happens in dogs but also many other animals such as horses. When an animal like dogs have bloat, it is claimed that nearly 25% to 40% of them will die even in an emergency treatment. This is because air and food fills up the stomach, leading to an expansion which decreases the breathing of the dog. When a dog is out of breathe, he or she may not make it to the hospital in time and additionally lower the blood supply to other organs of the body. Shock is also a big reason most of them instantly die. Some common symptoms of bloat include hard breathing, vomit, drooling, pale mouth and nose, etc.
