Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | 11 years and 10 months old
Hello, recently had a question answered regarding my dog being diagnosed with GDV, please can you confirm if in the X-ray attached in photos if the stomach did infact turn? She was heaving heavily and I could see her stomach had swollen significantly, she was also pacing around the house and refused to eat (did drink a lot of water at first), she did however not vomit at all. Thanks and kind regards

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! An official diagnosis requires at least 2 view radiographs. However, this 1 view definitely looks consistent with a GDV and warrants a veterinary evaluation as soon as possible. Best of luck!
