   GDV (Gastric Dilatation Volvulus) in dogs Overview GDV (a bloated, twisted stomach), is a painful, life-threatening condition that requires emergency treatment. Bloat and retching are the most common symptoms of a GDV. Contact your vet immediately if your dog has symptoms of a GDV. Never wait to see if things improve - faster treatment means a better chance of survival. If your dog has a GDV, they will need an operation to un-twist their stomach but sadly, due to the seriousness of the condition, even with treatment, some GDVs are still fatal. Deep chested, large and giant breed dogs are most at risk of a GDV. What is GDV? A GDV is when the stomach bloats and twists around itself. Once the stomach twists, it quickly starts to fill with gas, causing severe and life threatening bloat. The only cure for a GDV is an operation to reverse the twist but sadly, due to the seriousness of the condition, even with treatment, some GDVs are still fatal.
