After all, dogs are prone to eat just about anything too much and too fast, including sweaty socks or yesterday\u2019s garbage! Because dogs are prone to gastrointestinal issues, it\u2019s good for all dog owners to know the risks when it comes to your chowhound.<\/p>\n<p>One very serious problem that occurs in dogs is bloat. Bloat is an emergency situation that causes a pet\u2019s stomach to become very hard to the touch. So what exactly is bloat in dogs, and how can you reduce the risk? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/about-us\/veterinarians-staff.html\">The team at Beverly Hills Veterinary Associates<\/a> is here with answers.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Bloat in Dogs<\/h3>\n<p>The term \u201cbloat\u201d is used generally to describe an extended abdomen\/stomach. This extension, called gastric dilatation (GD), can progress, causing the stomach to expand and \u201ctwist\u201d at either end or both, called torsion. When both ends of the stomach twist, the liquid and gases of the stomach cavity expand and balloon outward (known as gastric dilatation and volvulus or GDV).<\/p>\n<p>When GDV is severe, this process can actually cut off blood flow to the major organs, including the heart.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms of bloat in dogs include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enlarged abdomen<\/li>\n<li>Attempts to vomit\/gagging<\/li>\n<li>Drooling<\/li>\n<li>Labored breathing<\/li>\n<li>Paleness of mouth and nose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When GDV is present, it should be considered an immediate emergency. Without treatment, this condition is fatal and can cause a pet to deteriorate quickly. If you observe these symptoms in your pet, please call us right away.<\/p>\n<h3>The Cause<\/h3>\n<p>The cause of bloat in dogs is still undetermined. There are many suppositions, from feeding a pet ice to eating too quickly, but there\u2019s no scientific basis for these claims.<\/p>\n<p>Some possible underlying issues relate to breed. Breeds that have deep chests, such as St. Bernards, Irish setters, rottweilers, weimaraners, and standard poodles, tend to be more affected by this condition. There\u2019s also a possible correlation between feeding one single, large meal and dogs with anxiety or stress who tend to inhale more air or gulp while eating.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, we\u2019ve seen quite a few examples of dogs experiencing torsion if they get a lot of exercise directly before (or especially directly after) eating a meal.<\/p>\n<p>Again, no exact cause has been identified, as dogs who don\u2019t display these characteristics have also been diagnosed with bloat. That said, doing your best to avoid letting your dog get into the above situations should greatly decrease your dog\u2019s risk of bloat.<\/p>\n<h3>Treatment of GDV<\/h3>\n<p>In the case of bloat in the stomach\/intestine, it\u2019s imperative to decompress the abdomen by removing the built-up gas and fluid. In the case of torsion, surgery is also often required to return the stomach to its normal position and state. Sometimes, part of the spleen or other organs may require surgical intervention if they have been harmed or denied blood supply for too long.<\/p>\n<p>Once postoperative care and recovery has been completed, your veterinarian may recommend a procedure called gastropexy, which attaches the stomach to the body wall. This is one of the more effective ways to prevent another episode of bloat.<\/p>\n<p>Bloat in dogs is obviously a serious and frightening situation and is something to be aware of in the future.
