Just a few snaps of Dennis now that he is getting better...he was rushed into the vets last Sunday night and then admitted for a couple of days Confused

He was very very ill and thought we were going to lose him tbh but he is on the mend again now. Cool

The shaved areas are where he was on a drip

..and having a smile..

Gastric dilatation and volvulus... twisted stomach basically. I think the laymans term is bloat. Frequently seen emergency condition in deep chested dogs.

No wasn't gastric torsion..he had very bad diarrhea and vomiting for a few days and was losing a lot of weight..he then started to struggle to walk as well..quite scary tbh..the vet thinks it was down to his ibd..(inflammatory bowel disorder) which can be set off if he eats something that he is allergic too but seeing as he had nothing different I don't believe this to be the cause..He has never had the runs like it either.
