[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11296"] Recurrent bloat can occur if there is damage to the recurrent pharyngeal nerve which runs past those damaged lungs, and can also be damaged by hardware. If I have a bloater, I will generally do a rumen fistula, but a trochar and permanent plastic rumen plug can work as well. Hopefully your vet can fix the problem. My general rule with a bloated calf is I'll treat twice then do the surgery on the third time because it's become chronic. Some will put in the plug on the first bloat, but there is a risk of peritonitis that I don't want to take on the first bloating, but will take on recurrent bloaters. good luck v [/QUOTE]
