Oh Jen, what a loss! I am so sorry, I know all too well how badly this hurts, & so much more for being so unexpected. Most sincere condolences, if there's anything I can do for you, please, just ask. RIP handsome Caleb. jackie harris

"It was possibly a medication reaction/medication induced torsion."

I've never heard of this, nor did I find much info about drug induced torsion.  Should other dog owners be warned of the specific medication(s)?  Or is this an extra rare side effect?

So sorry to hear about Caleb!  Very sad! 
My sincere condolences to you. 

Jen



 

So Very Sorry For Your Loss,

Theresa

Very hard to write this without breaking down.  Every day I look at my boy and see his Daddy Caleb.  I wish I could convey what a magnificent presence he had.  Physically spectacular but mentally, what a dog.  So much confidence, so much power, so much reasoned judgment, so much devotion to Jennifer.  Caleb never met a challenge he would back down from and never met a child or puppy he was not gentle with.  This was the epitome of what the German Shepherd character should be.  He was the most magnificent son that Dargo had.

There will never be another Caleb, but there are a few of his progeny from the one litter he did have that might be close and hopefully will continue the wonderful traits I saw in a most wonderful and powerful work of God.

For someone who asked, predisone is known to cause indigestion, gastric distress and gas in humans and Caleb was taking it (Google prednisone and gas)...he had no other risk factors other than being a German Shepherd.  I would be happy to send people links to scholarly articles going back to the 50s documenting the link between gastric distress, indigestion and prednisone.  There is no eveidence to suggest dogs would be immune from this side effect.

While I do not know either Caleb or Jenni, loss is universal; and it hurts no matter if it were a human child lost or a fur child.

I hope you will always keep the fondest memories in your heart and that time will ease the pain you now feel.

Warm regards,

-K and Beau

Devastating news.  So sorry to hear your loss, jenni.  RIP Caleb x

I feel very blessed to have part of him in my 2 girl's. The most incredible GSD's I've ever owned! This is indeed a very sad day. REST IN PEACE CALEB.  

 RIP  CALEB


 Hope you find some peace in the fact that owners of his PUPS have highest of PRAISE about your CALEB...

THAT FACT  always keeps our hearts and mind more able to accept each waking hour from now on.

Caleb was the "WIND beneath YOUR WINGS"

Prednisone causes fluid retention type of bloating.  Bloat (aka gastric torsion) and bloating (swelling of the abdominal area) are different.  This is only to clarify for those whose dogs are on prednisone and may become alarm with such statements said above.  Best to discuss these issues with your vet.

Also, the same side effects are not always seen in different species.  So it cant be assumed because there is a side effect in humans that there is one in dogs.

RIP Caleb
