Had springers myself many years ago,IMO they do not have the extreme deep chest that weimeraners/setters/pointers have I'd say the chances of it happening to a springer are alot less than the aforementioned but it's still possible.When you say run around do you mean a pretty lengthy romp around some fields or in the yard? If its a 15 minute rip around the yard that includes a whiz and a crap your ok IMO.I wouldn't feed the dog and then go hunting that's the one thing I know for sure.
The other thing is that bloat is directly related to genetics,it's a conformation thing.
In the weimeraners its a shallow genepool, results will typically be the same kind of thing,thus it's passed on from generation to generation as a flaw IMO.
As a general rule................ going hunting/strenous exercise ................ no feed
Happy
I feed my two yr old Springer in the morning then we run around outside can he get torsion from that? Should I let him do his business first then feed him? Thanks jim
