Say hi to Mabel! She is an absolute sweetheart, and just loves meeting people. Unfortunately, Mabel did have a scary incident recently. She came in late at night, not feeling like herself at all, and once it was detected she had GDV, immediate action was required. Thankfully, she has made a wonderful recovery, and is back on her farm having fun with her friends!
GDV, also known as bloat, is a very serious medical emergency that can happen in larger breed dogs, in which the stomach flips. Dogs who have a lot of exercise after a large meal are more at risk. Symptoms include their stomach becoming large and/or hard, retching, and pacing with an elevated heart rate. Bring your dog to a vet immediately if you at all suspect GDV.
