‼️Reminder that we are now offering laparoscopic surgery for your furry friends 30 pounds and above! This includes gastropexy, spay, abdominal cryptorchid (testicles haven’t descended), and internal biopsies. Below is some information on what a gastropexy is and its benefits!
Laparoscopic gastropexy is an elective procedure done to permanently fix the stomach to the body wall. This prevents a life-threatening condition called bloat, which is the abnormal twisting of the stomach.
Deep chested large and giant breeds that would benefit from this are Great Danes, Mastiffs, Doberman Pinschers, Boxers, Rottweilers and German Shepherds. Below is a picture of a Great Dane who had the procedure done recently.
These incisions are much smaller compared to a large abdominal incision that would result from the conventional surgical gastropexy. This pup is doing great and we want the best preventative care for yours as well!
