Double bubble anyone?
This Diwali, came with dual Emergencies of GDV from Thane and Chembur during emergency OPD hours.
Gastric dilation and volvulus (GDV) is an acute, life-threatening condition that primarily affects large- and giant-breed dogs.
In it’s early stage, the stomach fills with gas, causing a simple gastric dilatation or "bloat".
A GDV, however, is a progression of the bloat into a volvulus, in which the huge, gas-filled stomach twists upon itself so that both the entrance and exit of the stomach become blocked.
Immediate medical and surgical intervention is required to optimize chance of survival in such cases.
Prophylactic Gastropexy is a valuable preventative procedure which we routinely perform and suggest in dogs, that are at high risk for GDV, like great dane, german shepherd, saint bernard, bassett hound, labradors etc.
Anxiety and stress due to firecrackers in Diwali, new year etc. is one of the common aetiology, apart from sudden activity post heavy, bulky meals.
Incase you notice any signs of bloating, discomfort or respiratory distress, do take your SuperPet to the nearest vet for an examination.
