Abstract
AbstractA 10‐week‐old Pembroke Welsh Corgi was presented for unproductive retching and abdominal distension to a referral hospital in Brisbane, Australia. The puppy had a history of polydipsia and was reported to have been drinking excessively prior to presentation. A 360° gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) was diagnosed radiographically. The puppy underwent surgery for gastric derotation and incisional gastropexy. Follow‐up testing was consistent with congenital renal dysplasia. To the author's knowledge, there are no previous case reports of a GDV in a medium‐breed puppy. Overindulgence of water has not previously been identified as a risk factor for GDV in the literature.
