Gastric dilatation volvulus
Gastric dilatation volvulus (also known as
twisted stomach,
gastric torsion and
GDV) is a medical condition in which the
stomach becomes overstretched and rotated by excessive
gas content. The word
bloat is often used as a general term to cover
gas distension without twisting and is often a normal change after eating or with
aerophagia. It is sometimes used incorrectly to indicate gastric torsion. Gastric dilatation volvulus always involves the twisting of the stomach and is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt treatment. The condition occurs commonly in domesticated animals, especially certain
dog breeds.Deep-chested breeds are especially at risk.
Mortality rates in dogs range from 10 to 60 percent, even with treatment. With surgery, the mortality rate is 15 to 33 percent.
