First off, I am terribly sorry that you lost your puppy! How horrible for you! I'm also sorry your question wasn't answer. I didn't see it myself, and I certainly wish I had been able to answer it for you earlier. Please keep in mind that without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain the outcome if you had gotten him into the vet but yes there could have been a chance he would have survived had he seen a vet. Also keep in mind that bloat is extremely deadly, and even with treatment, there are dogs who will not survive. I'm afraid it's a question that cannot have a definitive answer, and I am so very sorry for your loss :-(
