Informe pasantía clínica veterinaria Animal Center.

Abstract

In the present study we report the case of a canine, female, of the Chow chow breed of unknown age who was admitted to the Animalcenter Veterinary Clinic due to abdominal distention. The patient presented signs of tachycardia, tachypnea, with the presence of abdominal pain on clinical examination. Radiographic evaluation revealed an alteration that compromised the anatomy of the abdominal region, leading to the definitive diagnosis of gastric volvulus dilation and torsion. The treatment established for this diagnosis was surgical intervention (gastropexy and splenectomy). The results were successful in correcting respiratory distress due to hypovolemia generated by the pressure generated by torsion.
