If secondary cardiovascular problems are apparent, they will need to be immediately treated. After the heart is stabilized, gastric decompression can be performed, preferably with orogastric intubation, a process by which a tube is inserted through the patient\u2019s mouth into the stomach. After these processes are complete and the patient is stabilized, surgical measures may be taken to return internal organs (such as the stomach and spleen) to their normal positions. Additional treatment may be needed to address any organ damage. A permanent gastropexy, in which the patient\u2019s stomach is surgically secured to prevent future improper rotation, may be done to prevent recurrence of GDV<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Prevention<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While gastric torsion can happen to any dog breed, it pays to know if your canine pet is predisposed.
