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.

Why are dental X-Rays important?  What is wrong with these teeth that you can only see on a dental X-Ray

 

 

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.
