Although our ancestors always said, "If you walk a hundred paces after dinner, you will live to ninety-nine.". But for dogs, the best thing to do after a big meal is to take a break and play in moderation, because in general, large animals or dogs who exercise vigorously immediately after a big meal are likely to suffer from "acute gastric torsion", which is a fatal disease every minute.
Today, Dr. E will share with you a case of Jinmao Luoyou's gastric foreign body complicated with acute gastric volvulus, which recovered through surgical treatment.
In the afternoon, Luo You ate a lot of fish bones by mistake. After exercise, he was depressed at about seven o'clock in the evening. He was unwilling to walk. He was short of breath. At the same time, he retched and salivated. The most important thing was that his abdomen swelled rapidly.
Then Luoyou's owner took Luoyou to a nearby hospital for treatment. As there was no complete equipment in the nearby hospital, the local doctor suggested referral to our hospital. So Luoyou's owner took Ta to Mingwang Animal Hospital overnight.
Hospital examination
Imaging examination
Blood tests
Diagnostic results
After examination, the doctor judged that the pudding was gastric volvulus and had severe acidosis.
Treatment
After the results of Luo You's examination came out, the doctor urgently corrected the pH value of the body through infusion and relieved the animal's hypoxia (oxygen supply). Because Luo You ate a lot of bones, if he wanted to recover completely, he had to do a gastrectomy to clean up the bones in his stomach. The operation was not very smooth, because after laparotomy, it was found that Luo You's stomach and spleen were twisted, and the abdominal cavity had been bleeding due to the high pressure of the posterior vena cava, and his life was in danger. Fortunately, after a period of compression to stop bleeding, the animal finally stabilized, which was a thrilling operation.
On the second day after the operation, DR examination showed that the stomach was no longer flatulent.
Although Luo You's morbidity is urgent and his condition is serious, fortunately, in the efforts of the healthcare workers of fame, Luo You finally survived. After a period of hospitalization recovery, in the postoperative review of the indicators did not see obvious abnormalities, Luo You also recovered the previous kamikaze and discharged smoothly.
Warning of Luo You's Illness
Do not feed sharp food such as bones to animals. Nuts, kernels and corn kernels should be kept in garbage cans that are not easy for animals to open. Sharp objects can easily cause gastrointestinal scratches or obstruction. Nuts, kernels and corn kernels can also easily cause intestinal obstruction in animals and are not easy to diagnose.
For deep-chested dogs, such as German shepherds, golden retrievers and Alaskans, eating foreign bodies is also one of the causes of gastric volvulus.
Although dogs are a group of people who love sports, exercise does help their health. But how to exercise and when to exercise is also a kind of knowledge, and a little carelessness will lead to its harm. Therefore, raising pets must follow scientific feeding methods.
