GDV (BLOAT) is a life threatening emergency that needs immediate veterinary attention!⚠️

GDV stands for Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus. Which is when the stomach fills with gas and can twist on itself. This cuts off blood supply and can rapidly become fatal without urgent treatment.😢

Signs to watch for:⚠️
➡️Bloated or swollen abdomen
➡️Retching or trying to vomit with nothing coming up
➡️Restlessness or pacing
➡️Excessive drooling
➡️Panting or difficulty breathing
➡️Weakness or collapse

While GDV is more common in large, deep chested dogs, it can occur in any breed and even cats.🐶🐱

Time is critical! ⏰
If you notice these signs, contact us on (07)5467 2277 or emergency hospital immediately!

Some ways to help reduce the risk include:
🐕Avoiding vigorous exercise around meal times
🐾 Feeding smaller meals rather than one large meal daily
🥣Using slow feeder bowls
👩🏼‍⚕️👨🏻‍⚕️Discussing preventative gastropexy surgery with us for high risk breeds

Just like people, horses can feel the colder weather❄️☃️Especially those with arthritis or underlying joint pain. Winter can make stiffness and soreness much more noticeable, particularly in older horses or performance horses with wear and tear on their joints.😢

Signs to watch for:
🐴 Stiffness when first moving off
🐴 Reluctance to work or move forward
🐴 Difficulty picking up canter leads
🐴 Shortened stride
🐴 Grumpiness when groomed or tacked up
🐴 Taking longer to warm up

The good news?🤩 There are lots of ways we can help keep them comfortable through winter 💚

From joint support and management changes to treatment options, our team can help tailor a plan for your best mate 🐴
