This disease is rapidly life-threatening. Prompt medical and surgical treatment is essential. Stomach decompression is done along with treatment for shock followed by surgery to correct the stomach rotation. Our intention is not to frighten but to inform pet owners of this disease. Symptoms that owners might observe are a bloated abdomen, retching white foam, restlessness, panting and lethargy.
Studies indicate that dogs that receive the quickest treatment are most likely to survive.

Careful monitoring is important, patients hearts are monitored with an EKG along with a pulse oximeter which measure oxygen levels in the blood.
