[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1673790, member: 12520"] I've never heard of nitrate poisoning being related to frothy bloat. It has always been my understanding that they are two different things with different causes. Frothy bloat being the problem of the rumen making more gas than it can expel, suffocating the animal by putting too much pressure on the diaphragm so they can't breath. Also, carbon dioxide getting absorbed into the blood stream from the rumen. Nitrate poisoning being the inability of the blood to absorb oxygen because of high levels of nitrites. She doesn't bloat, she dies from lack of oxygen. Perhaps one of our resident DVM's could get us sorted out. [/QUOTE]
