In order to prevent GDV, we recommend you rehydrate your pet slowly according to these instructions:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\">\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0Start with a small amount of water.<br \/>\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0Slightly increase the amount of water every 30 minutes until your dog is fully hydrated.<br \/>\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0Resist the urge to exercise your dog after they ingest water or food.<\/p>\n<p>GDV can be lethal. If your dog has the symptoms of GDV, we recommend you take your dog to the nearest animal emergency hospital, as vet clinics do not always have the means to surgically deal with GDV. This condition progresses rapidly, and every minute counts when it comes to treatment. Prompt intervention can significantly improve survival rates. Symptoms may include a swollen abdomen, retching without vomit, restlessness, or signs of pain. If you notice anything unusual, don\u2019t wait-emergency care is critical. Always know where your nearest 24-hour animal hospital is, especially if you\u2019re travelling or relocating with your pet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"408.90666666666687\"><\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pet Health Information What You Need to Know About Pet Wellness During TravelLooking for trusted pet health information?
