MOTHER OF ALL EMERGENCIES


"There are many injuries and physical disorders that represent life-threatening emergencies. There is only one condition so drastic that it overshadows them all in terms of rapidity of consequences and effort in emergency treatment:

GDV. 

GDV is an acute life-threatening situation that occurs when the stomach expands and then rotates, cutting off blood supply to the stomach and spleen. Most dogs will go into shock soon after the first signs of GDV are seen. Death can occur within a matter of hours (or less). Immediate medical and surgical intervention is required to optimize survival. Death rate approaches 50%, even when treated(read more)."

Yeah. 

Shortly after landing on the Eat Coast, Dutch developed signs of GDV. Luckily I know what they are. The nearest emergency clinic is an hour from Cousin Sophie's. Thanks to my brother, we made it there in forty minutes. A few quick X-rays and my freakout is confirmed.

Dutch heads off to surgery...

A few VERY LONG hours later, the vet calls to let us know Dutch is still alive. His stomach and spleen were all sorts of tangled. Lots of bruising, but most of the tissue is still mostly healthy. Apparently the veins connecting his spleen to stomach are extra long and this helped. Go Dutch veins! Plenty of things can still go very wrong post-op, but so far so good. All fingers, toes, paws & thumbs crossed. Will know more in the next 24 hours. 

You will know when I know. Just don't tell Puglet. 

If you have a big dog, READ THIS NOW. Most of the symptoms of GDV are very specific if you know what to look for. GDV is always always always an emergency.

Oh no, that's terrible news- sending lots of positive vibes over the seas from NZ. Dutch is lucky to have such a clever Mum who recognized the signs. I wish him a speedy recovery so he can back with his best pal Puglet soon :) x

Rachel's Thoughts said...

Wow, Amamda it seems like so many things are going ary! We are crossing our fingers and toes for Dutch that everything goes smoothly. Kudos on getting him emergency attention in time! :D Good luck and hope the rest of your stay on the Eat Coast is smoother sailing.

Thank goodness you knew what to look for and was able to get him to the vet. I lost a dog to that and it was a horrible experience. I'm sending love and prayers to everyone for a full recovery - Joette

Lots of hugs and good wishes, Ms. Thumbs. Also, high five to that speedy brother of yours.

Mercy's Mom said...

Oh Amanda Sweetie - I can't imagine what you are feeling! That is horrible! Thank God you did know and recognize the signs. Everything is crossed and I've just said some prayers for Dutch and will continue to do so throughout the day. What do you think brought this on? Anything specific? I hope it didn't have to do w/stress or the flight, which I'm guessing was 4-5 hours long. I'm going to go back now and read the link you posted.

Take care & prayers for Dutch,
Love,
Mercy's Mom & Mercy

P.S. Big shoutout to your brother for making it to the clinic in lightening speed!

DUTCH! You can't be scaring us like this, sweetheart. You need to get better fast so that your hu-mom (and the rest of us) can stop worrying. And if you can't fly back home for some reason, I'm sure that between all of us who read this blog and love you and your hu-mom dearly, we can arrange for you to be driven cross country. Get better soon, handsome boy.

Kathleen says....

This can happen to pugs also...not just large dogs. My pug developed this complication after dental surgery. I noted the "drum-like" stomach when I picked her up from vet after surgery. I even commented on it...the vet wasn't concerned because she was a small dog. He said she swallowed air because of anxiety. Well after an uncomfortable night I rushed her back to vet...long story short...$5000 specialist/surgery/hospital stay later she did make it!

Praying for Dutch!!!

Hugs to you. I work with GSDs that are service dogs and we've lost many amazing dogs to this. We follow all the guidelines to avoid, rest before and after eating, etc but sometimes it just happens and it's just terrible for all involved. We had some survive and have actually considered making the tacking surgery routine with a spay or neuter...

Get well soon!
