Old man, I think that the twisted gut makes sense. I had a scare with it last year with two dogs and learned about it during that. It can kill them very very quickly. My two dogs were fine, I hunted them hard, took them home and fed them a small amount and then took them on another hard hunt about 6 hours later if I remember correctly. I shouldn’t have fed them, but I did since they were basically hunting for 2 days straight. After that second hunt they were both lethargic, threw up all their food and stopped eating. I couldn’t get them to eat for several days. Vet said their white blood cell count was high and gave them some antibiotics. I thought for sure I was going to lose at least one of them. I think it was a partially twisted gut that wasn’t very bad and it straightened itself back out. I think that if it’s full blown twisted gut they can die within a few hours if they don’t have surgery.
