🚨 Every dog owner should know the signs of GDV (Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus), commonly known as bloat. This life-threatening emergency can progress rapidly and requires immediate veterinary care.
Signs may include a swollen abdomen, unsuccessful attempts to vomit, pacing, drooling, and restlessness.
The good news? Prevention is possible. Our hospital now offers a prophylactic gastropexy procedure during spay and neuter surgeries to help significantly reduce the risk of stomach twisting later in life.
