Emergency GDV/Bloat Surgery for Dogs in San Diego
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV), commonly known as bloat, is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate surgical intervention. At WAG Animal ER in San Diego, our emergency team is available 24/7 to provide critical GDV surgery and support, ensuring your dog gets the urgent care they need to survive.
GDV occurs when a dog’s stomach fills with gas and twists on itself, cutting off blood flow and causing rapid deterioration. Large and deep-chested breeds are particularly at risk, but GDV can affect any dog. Symptoms include a swollen abdomen, unproductive retching, restlessness, and collapse. If you notice these signs, seek emergency help immediately.
