Such a hard post for us to make, we will miss our Boujee so much 💔
GDV (bloat) is so horrible. Please know the warning signs and if you think your dog may be experiencing them, get emergency help as soon as possible. Things to look for are: swollen abdomen, vomiting/attempts of vomit with no success, excessive drooling, restlessness, panting or rapid breathing, not being able to stand and an overall look of distress. Boujee was taken to the vet as soon as these symptoms appeared and received emergency surgery but unfortunately the damage was already done and we lost this beautiful girl the day after her procedure. You can have a gastropexy (stomach tacking procedure) preformed on your dog to help buy extra time to get them help if this occurs. It’s typically done during their spay/neuter if requested. There are always risks with any procedure so be sure to research and consult with your vet.
We are so grateful for Kittrell Animal Hospital for acting fast to get a diagnosis, working so hard to save Boujees life and giving her the best care.
Rest In Peace, Boujee. She offered our family so much love and will missed immensely 🖤
