Although many pet owners are unaware of it, bloat in dogs is one of the most serious, and potentially deadly, pet <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/blog\/when-is-it-a-pet-emergency\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emergencies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Understanding the signs of bloat, as well as your emergency options, are crucial in protecting your dog from this dangerous affliction. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Understanding Bloat in Dogs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloat, also known as gastric dilation volvulus (GDV), occurs when gas and fluid cause the stomach to distend. In some dogs, this distention can cause the stomach to twist along its axis (also called torsion), cutting itself off from the esophagus and duodenum. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of this torsion, gas builds up and the stomach distends further, cutting off the blood supply and causing cell death. Without treatment, a dog with bloat may die within a few hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your dog is experiencing bloat, you may witness the following symptoms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Distended abdominal area<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attempts to vomit or belch unsuccessfully<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restlessness\/acting uncomfortable<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pacing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drooling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking at stomach<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reacting with pain when stomach is touched<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collapse<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bloat in dogs is an extremely dangerous condition and should be considered a medical emergency. Most dogs with bloat will require surgery to remove any dead tissue and to repair the stomach and prevent the bloat from recurring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Preventing GDV<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All dogs are susceptible to bloat, but large, deep-chested breeds, such as the Great Dane, St. Bernard, and Weimaraner, are at increased risk. While the exact cause of bloat in dogs is unclear, there are certain steps dog owners can take to lower their pet\u2019s risk:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feed your dog two smaller meals per day, rather than one large meal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t feed your dog immediately before or after vigorous activity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevent your dog from eating too much, or too quickly. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevent your dog from drinking large amounts of water in one sitting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t feed your dog from a raised feeding bowl, keep it on the floor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>The Benefits of Preventive Gastropexy <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are the owner of a breed that is prone to GDV, your veterinarian will make a point of discussing the benefits and risks of preventive gastropexy surgery for your dog. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a gastropexy, the stomach is tacked to the abdominal wall, thus, preventing it from twisting due to distention. The stomach can still fill with air, but the risk of torsion is virtually eliminated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because we perform laparoscopic gastropexy at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/our-practice\/about-us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we encourage our clients to have the procedure done in conjunction with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/blog\/laparoscopic-spaying\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">laparoscopic spay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or neuter.
