The procedure also includes filling in the forms by the owner, which gives consent for the introduction of anesthesia and surgical treatment of the patient.<\/p>\n<p>We will briefly describe some of the most common emergency surgical interventions.<\/p>\n<h3>GDV &#8211; gastric dilatation and volvulus (stomach torsion)<\/h3>\n<p>Gastric torsion or bloating involves the accumulation of gas and fluid in the stomach, which causes it to expand and spontaneously rotate or torsion. The most common symptoms of gastric torsion are a sore and swollen abdomen, the urge to vomit with or without expelling the contents from the stomach, increased pain, panting, and anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>To diagnose this condition, it is necessary to report an ultrasound examination of the abdomen, but an even more important procedure is radiological imaging of the animal. If GDV is found in a patient, urgent stabilization and preparation for surgery are started.<\/p>\n<p>This disease most often occurs in breeds of dogs with a deep chest, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Great_Dane\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Dane<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dogo_Argentino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dogo Argentino<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/German_Shepherd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">German Shepherd<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dobermann\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Doberman<\/a>, but it is possible to occur in any other breed of dog, even in cats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GDV is an urgent health condition that, if left untreated, can lead to the death of the animal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Hemoabdomen &#8211; bleeding into the abdominal cavity<\/h3>\n<p>The abdominal cavity is a space that contains many organs such as the liver, spleen, intestines, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, female reproductive organs. If there is free blood in the abdominal cavity, this condition is called a hemoabdomen.<\/p>\n<p>The most common reasons for the development of this condition are ruptured tumor changes in the liver and spleen. Also, trauma such as a car crash or a fall from a great height, poisoning with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rodenticide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rodenticides<\/a> (poison for mice and rats), and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coagulopathy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">coagulopathy (blood coagulation disorders)<\/a> can lead to this condition.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms of the disease include pale visible mucous membranes, cold extremities, rapid pulse, weakness, loss of consciousness. Accelerated and difficult breathing may be present, as well as a tense and bloated abdomen. A patient with a hemoabdomen is in a state of hemodynamic shock and urgent stabilization, frequent transfusions, and surgical cessation of bleeding are required.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":792,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.0 -
