- What is wrong with this dog
The Answer is: The conditon is called GDV or Gastric Dilation with Volvulous. Otherwise known as bloat. It occurs when a deep chested dog eats food/water and shortly after becomes active. The ingesta in it’s stomach sloshes around until the stomach flips over on itself, thus trapping gas in the stomach. This is a life threatening situation and is considered an emergency.

Answer: All of these teeth look normal from the outside but infact each one has a tooth root abcess or dental pocket that needs attention. This is why dental x-rays are so important. The teeth are abcesses waiting to happen.
