| Bloat in yorkies? I know this condition occurs in large breed, deep/barrel chested dogs but I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of a yorkie experiencing bloat? Not just gas but when the stomach actually flips. I found a list of the 25 most likely breeds, in order, to get bloat and of course yorkies weren't on it. Just wondering if there was some freak incident anyone knows of?

| It is especially a problem with German Shepherds but I asked about Yorkies on here several months ago and it doesn't seem to be such a problem.
