Meet Isaiah!
Isaiah came into Hood River Alpine Veterinary Hospital last month with symptoms including vomiting and an extended abdomen. After a thorough exam and an x-ray, his diagnosis was Gastric Dilation and Volvus Syndrome. This condition is also known as torsion or bloat.
Bloat happen when the stomach fills with food or water. Once the stomach becomes overextended it has the possibility of twisting which can cut off the circulation to the stomach and intestines. This condition can be fatal and is an emergency that should be seen by your veterinarian immediately.
Luckily, Isaiah was a lucky boy, and with Dr. Foss’s help made it through his treatments and surgery to repair the condition.

I'm glad to report that Isaiah made a full recovery and is good health. He is still a little on the skinny side but he eats slower and more frequent than how he was being fed before.. He no longer gets to have vigorous activity after eating he has to wait at least an hour before he goes out and plays with brother - David. Had it not been for the quick response from everyone at Alpine and the over the top care my precious boy recieved, he would not be here today. Thank you, Thank you..
Take care everyone! Sincerely, Tricia Colwell
