Plain-English summary
A 20-month-old male Great Dane was brought in because he had been vomiting intermittently for the past two months. This vomiting was linked to a surgical procedure called gastropexy, which was done to prevent bloat when he was younger. Unfortunately, the surgery caused his stomach to shift position, leading to a blockage that made it hard for food to pass through. The vet was able to address the issue, and the dog is expected to recover after treatment.
