GreyPoopon Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 OMG, what a mess. I'm so very sorry. It does, though, sound very promising at this point. It's fortunate that you and your vets decided to operate. I hope she heals quickly and well.

greysmom Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hugs and white light to you! We had a Great Dane that bloated w/torsion, had the surgery and lived a long and completely normal life. Your vets sound like good doctors - they found the problem and fixed it and you'll have your girl home and bouncing aorund in no time!! It was good that she "just" bloated. With torsion, the blood vessels are blocked by the twisting and large sections of intestine and bowel can die due to lack of blood flow. Fortunately, dogs can get along well without their spleen.

Guest greytelectric Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi everyone, I can't believe that so soon after our sweet Carrier left us, we are dealing with another medical crisis. Here is a copy of my post on CoG - sorry for the cut and paste, but my brain is functioning properly. Please send good thoughts and any advice on this would be great as the search function on GT isn't working. thanks, eva Do you know what caused the bloating? ------ Copy of CoG post. Hi Everyone, Our greyhound Bailey, who is angel Carrier's littermate, bloated last night. She is going to be 11 on October 13. We responded quickly to her symptoms and rushed her to the e-vet and they were able to tube her and release the gas in her tummy that way. That was 4:30 this morning. They kept her for the morning on IV's and I called at 7 for an update. They told me that they tubed her again and her tummy was not full of gas, so that is good and she is doing fairly well. Her regular vet picked her up at 7:30 and brought her back to their clinic. They are taking an xray right now and we are waiting to hear what is going on and what the next steps are. Anyone with experience with this, please let me know. Healing thoughts are appreciated too (((Hugs))) eva and angel carrier... and our sweet Bailey girl UPDATE 10:00 We went out to see her and speak to the vet. They took another xray and she is getting bloated again. Their reco was to do the surgery to tack her stomach down to prevent torsion. She is distressed and looks angry. (that's our girl ) They will do the surgery this morning. Andy and Ella are pretty lost this morning and just keep looking for her outside. She is our alpha female and they completely adore her. Please send good thoughts. I am sure Carrier is watching down on her. thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
