9 year old German Shepherd

By

9 year old male neutered German Shepherd presented for bloat. Is this abdomen surgical?

Comments

  1. There is stomach volvulus with dorsally displaced pylorus, and very serious gas distension of the stomach. Bronchial pattern on visible lung.
    The surgical approach would be considered according to the time of onset and health status of the pacient, plus recurrance issues.
    Decompression of the stomach would be priority.
