Clinical Signs


Most owners will call the practice with concerns that their pet has increased salivation, has an unproductive vomit and his/her abdomen looks distended, although recent episodes of self-limited mild to moderate gastric distention, anorexia, or occasional vomiting can be noted prior to full dilatation. Restlessness, retching, and excessive eructation or flatulence may also be reported.

On clinical examination the patient will have a distended painful abdomen which sounds ‘drum like’ on percussion. The patient may be tachycardic and tachypnoeic with pale mucous membranes and a slow capillary refill time. As the condition develops the patient’s pulses will become increasingly weak and thready.
