Everyone is evaluating the size, shape and position of the enlarged stomach to decide between gastric dilation and volvulus, gastric dilation alone (bloat) and pyloric outflow obstruction. The position of the fundus, pylorus, proximal duodenum, and spleen could all give clues as to which it is. To see how you did, click on the link to the case in the original post above.

Caudal displacement of the rt kidney (at the level of the lt kidney) and spleen. Moderately enlarged spleen seen more obvious on the rt lateral view, C shaped and with its tail pointed frontally. Left urinary bladder deviation. Distended gastric fundus on the rt lateral. Gas filled pylorus on the lt lateral and fluid filled on the right idicates the pylorus is on the right side. Moderate megaesophagus. I think is gastric distension without significant volvulus because pylorus is on the right, CVC is not decreased in size, there is no compartmentalization, gastric wall is not very thin, other abdominal organs are visible. Possible splenic torsion. Possible free air in the abdomen (double line abdominal wall. Bronchointerstitial lung pattern.

It is not the classical GDV radiograph, but the pylorus is seen dorsally, which might indicate a torsion. the shape of the spleen is suggestive of a possible torsion, though no congestion of it is seen.
