Gastric version, as the name suggests, is caused by the rotation of the stomach, causing obstruction in the front and back of the stomach, and eventually bloating due to fermentation of food in the stomach.
Although there are many pathological hypotheses for gastric reflux, there is no definite hypothesis so far. Among the many hypotheses, abnormal laxity of the gastric ligaments is the most commonly accepted cause of the disease. There are some factors that may make dogs more susceptible to gastric reflux:
Older, larger and giant breed dogs are more susceptible, especially those with deep chests.
Secondly, if the dog eats quickly, or if the owner often gives an abnormally large amount of food or water at one time, the risk of the dog getting sick will also be higher.
Dogs that engage in strenuous exercise directly after meals will also greatly increase the risk of disease. Gastric reflux affects three major body systems:

Gastrointestinal tract obstruction may even cause necrosis of some tissues in the stomach, and the spleen may also be affected. Clinical symptoms of gastric versus include: shortness of breath, abdominal distension, excessive salivation, pale gums, restlessness, fatigue, and in severe cases, coma and shock. If the animal has the above conditions, it should immediately undergo blood tests and abdominal X-rays to confirm whether gastric inversion is present.
We recommend that dog owners only feed their dogs small meals and frequent meals, avoid eating too fast, avoid strenuous exercise before and after meals, and always pay attention to whether your dog has gastric reflux. If you have any doubts, take it to the veterinary clinic immediately for examination.
