There's a "mysterious" case of bloat in a young previously healthy cat that has appeared "elsewhere".

After barium radiography and exploratory surgery, the Vets are at a loss for a diagnosis as to cause.

The cat has already come within a hair of being euthanized...

I wonder if anyone here has had any experience with cat bloat...or, perhaps has heard of a case...or, perhaps could offer some insight.

(I've done oodles of googles already...and have heard from a respected researcher, who says there are no documented cases...but, all other references say it is rare...but possible in cats)

I didn't even know cats could get it. I remember when one of my cats was having chronic digestive episodes which they never really figured out I asked if they could develop the same problems as dogs with bloat or twisted intestines and she told me no.
