The Gastropexy!
This surgical procedure can prevent a GDV, or bloat (check out my video on GDV for more info!). As an ECC veterinarian, I absolutely HATE GDV cases. Even amongst emergencies they are terrible. And I encourage every single person that owns a large breed dog, or a dog with a very deep chest, to speak with their primary care veterinarian about having this surgery performed prophylactically at a young age to prevent GDV/bloat from happening.
Trust me, you do NOT want to be sitting at one of the only few emergency vet hospital open at 11pm having to deal with a GDV emergency. It’s not fun for you, your pet, or us as emergency vet workers.
