Gastric dilatation-volvulus syndrome in dogs

Eric Monnet. Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 2003 Sep.

Abstract

Gastric dilatation-volvulus is a medical and surgical emergency that principally affects large-breed dogs. Surgical treatment should be undertaken as soon as the patient has been stabilized with fluid therapy and decompression. A gastrectomy might be required if the stomach is becoming necrotic. A gastropexy is required to prevent recurrence.
