Canine Gastric Torsion

Book Abstract by: aneline    

Original Author: Silvia Batista
This abstract was translated from Torção gástrica canina
Although it is little heard of, the problem is becoming more frequent in dogs. Theses faithful friends also suffer from problems
similar to ours. Research shows that this sudden illness that has taken the life of many dogs causes a terrible pain and leaves the animal with a swollen belly and surgical intervention is urgent. Here are sometips to try to avoid gastric torsion: Do not leave the food too close to the water bowl, or don't leave the food for the whole day, because when the dog feeds and drinks too much water, a type of fermentation occurs. Of course it is important to leave enough drinking water, but it is necessary to understand that exposed food for too long will facilitate the process. Another thing is to avoid physical activity after the meals, such as taking it out for a walk or a jog. Certainly the subject is vast, but here is the alert for us to try to understand better these canine friends.
