Two types of bloat
There are 2 types of bloat
1) Frothy bloat
Conditions that may lead to frothy bloat include consumpiton of lush legumes such as clover or alfalfa, either in green feeds or as new hay; recent turnout to legume pastures, and wet grass pastures. Sudden access to grain can also lead to frothy bloat.
2) Free gas bloat
Free gas bloat occurs when there is blockage in the esophagus, often due to grain, apples or carrots.

Bloat Treatment
Trocar method
Poke it at the highest point of the bloat on the left side, midway between the last rib and the hip). Jab the 16-gauge needle all the way in and hold it there while the gas escapes.
This procedure is best done by a veterinarian but in emergency cases, time is important.
