**DONOTDELETE** Webboard User Reg: 12-31-1969 Posts: 1003 Loc: Online	this study doesnt really tell me much regarding elevated feeding or did i miss something. although it is mentioned that this study confirmed previous reports of increased risk of GDV with elevated feeding along with age and heredtary factors. there is no indication regarding percentages of the increase of bloat occurence with elevated feeding alone. it mentioned confirming previous reports, any idea where those can be found? i would like to see studies done with regards to elevated feeding alone with other factors constant. i.e, age, type of food ,ect. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
