Luigi had a splenectomy and gastric torsion correction recently. It was down to the excellent treatment by my vets (Millar and Swann in Elgin) that he survived. He did not suffer from Bloat!  It would appear that one of the other dogs ran into him earlier in the week and the impact was enough to trigger the spleen to twist. This can and did, go undetected for a couple of days and he was treated for acute colic, however as the spleen continued to twist this had a knock on effect on the stomach, finally causing the gastric torsion. I am however very pleased to say that he coped very well with the huge operation (4 hrs) he was very steady under anaesthetic (Bracco's have been known to have problems under anaesthesia) and is well on the road to recovery.

Please note that this was not due to the feeding/exercise regime and is the first full torsion I have had in any of my own dogs in 25years. However I have witnessed several torsions and bloat in others people's Weimaraners and Bracchi. It is a very distressing condition and clearly despite doing everything possible to avoid it, if it is going to happen it will.
