Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus
(GDV)
What is it?
• Gastric dilatation-volvulus is a
disease in which the stomach
distends with air and then
rotates
• It is a life-threatening
emergency which requires
surgery
Signs & Symptoms
• Retching with the inability to vomit
• Restlessness and discomfort
• Excessive salivation
• Panting/labored breathing
• Grunting/yelping/whining in pain
• Standing and walking with a
hunched over back
Risk Factors
• Large & giant breed dogs such as
Great Danes, Doberman Pinschers,
and German Shepherds among
many others
• Genetic predisposition
• Swallowing large amounts of air
• Fearful, anxious, or stressed dogs
• Rigorous activity after a meal
• Dogs who have previously had a
GDV or bloat are more likely to
have it again unless the stomach is
tacked down through a procedure
called a gastropexy
Meet Carter
A 4 year old Labradoodle
Carter’s owners brought
him in when they noticed he
was retching, gagging,
restless, whining, lethargic
and had a hunched-over
appearance
Lethargic
Hunched-over
How IVS helped Carter
• The doctors at IVS recognized the signs of a GDV
immediately
• They took radiographs which showed gas and
twisting of the stomach
• They then took Carter to emergency surgery
where his stomach was untwisted successfully
• During surgery they performed a gastropexy,
where the stomach is tacked down to prevent
further twisting issues
Recovery
• Carter stayed at IVS for 2 days where he
could recover with restricted activity
• His heart rate and other vitals were
monitored and he was put on pain
medication and intravenous fluids
• He recovered very quickly and was sent
home in good spirits – despite the
cone!!
If you are concerned that your dog may
be bloated or have developed a GDV
Please seek immediate medical
attention
At your pet’s regular veterinarian or
here at IVS!
