¿Cómo IDENTIFICAR una TORSIÓN GÁSTRICA en PERROS en 1 MINUTO? 🐶 #Perros #SHORTS

What does this syndrome consist of? Well, it basically consists of an abnormal dilation of the stomach. Right. Without the possibility of emptying, which in the end can end up twisting. How can we know if our animal is suffering from this syndrome? Well, especially at the beginning, right. We are going to notice that the animal is uncomfortable. We are going to see that it looks at its flanks, that it stands up, bends down, lies down. We are going to notice that it is uncomfortable. Right. Why? Because it is starting to suffer abdominal pain and this discomfort due to the swelling. Then we are going to notice as this syndrome progresses, what is going to happen is that it is going to try to vomit, but it is not going to be able to. Why? Because when it is twisted, it cannot empty its stomach. So it is going to gag, but without being able to expel the contents as it progresses. Okay. This is important to know that it is a fairly rapid progression and requires equally rapid action. Oh, she's going to continue with these unproductive gag reflexes. She's going to start drooling a lot, and she's going to be less and less able to move. Okay. Eventually, she'll end up lying on the floor. Okay. And we're going to start to notice that her stomach is dilating. Okay. We're going to notice. Especially it's easier to notice in thinner animals. For example, in her case, it would be very obvious if we put her standing up, we would see a swelling from behind the coastal wall. Right. We would see that abnormally dilated abdomen. In dogs like a Saint Bernard, for example, which have much more hair, are more focused on meat. In a superior body condition, sometimes it's a little hard to see until it's very obvious.
