🐐 Meet LeBron – The Little Goat with a Big Comeback! 🐐

LeBron, a spunky 6-month-old pygmy goat, came to see Dr. Natalee Forman after having trouble urinating. Turns out, he was blocked at his vermiform appendage (yes, goats have those!), so we amputated it to get things flowing again.

A week later… déjà vu. 🚫💦 He was blocked again—this time likely at his sigmoid flexure. We recommended a cystotomy and PU surgery, to give him the best chance at a happy, comfortable life.

💡Perineal Urethrostomy - It’s a procedure where a new opening for urination is created in the perineal area (just below the a**s) by surgically shortening and widening the urethra.

Fast forward 2 weeks and LeBron strutted back in, tail wagging and feeling fantastic! 💪 He’s back to being a young, happy goat—proving once again how resilient these little ruminants can be.

💡 Goat Health Tip: Urinary blockages in male goats can be linked to mineral imbalances and water quality. Balancing calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals in the diet (and testing your water!) is key to prevention.

We’re so glad LeBron’s story has a happy ending—and we’re looking forward to sharing more about his unusual stone type soon!

GDV (Bloat) in Dogs: What You Need to Know

🐾Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV) is a serious and life-threatening condition that requires immediate veterinary attention. Commonly known as bloat, GDV occurs when a dog’s stomach fills with gas, food, or fluid and then twists on itself, cutting off blood supply and trapping contents inside.

⸻

Who’s at Risk?

🐕While GDV can happen to any dog, it’s more common in:
• Large, deep-chested breeds (e.g., Great Danes, German Shepherds, Standard Poodles, Weimaraners)
• Older dogs
• Dogs that eat rapidly, exercise right after eating, or are under high stress

⸻

Signs to Watch For

🦴If you notice any of the following symptoms, seek emergency veterinary care immediately:
• Distended or tight abdomen
• Unproductive retching or gagging (trying to vomit but nothing comes up)
• Restlessness or pacing
• Excessive drooling
• Signs of pain (whining, anxious expression, inability to get comfortable)
• Rapid breathing or collapse

GDV can progress rapidly and be fatal within hours, so time is critical.

⸻
How is GDV Treated?

🏥Emergency surgery is typically required to:
• Untwist the stomach
• Assess for any damaged tissue
• Secure the stomach in place (called a gastropexy) to prevent recurrence

⸻

Can GDV Be Prevented?

🩷While not 100% preventable, you can reduce the risk:
• Feed smaller, more frequent meals
• Use slow-feeder bowls for fast eaters
• Avoid vigorous exercise around mealtime
• Consider a preventive gastropexy for at-risk breeds

⸻

Final Thought

GDV is a true emergency! Knowing the signs and acting fast can save your dog’s life. If you ever suspect bloat, call us immediately!
