Samson was not Himself

‘Came home from a party. Samson did not come to the door with his usual effusive greeting. I took him for a walk, but the only thing he could do was retch, passing some foam. He was panting excessively, and when I felt it, his stomach was rock-hard. Only rapid intervention by the Animal Medical Center in New York City averted a tragedy. This is not a disorder that can “wait” to be treated until the next morning. If you think your dog has GDV, mobilize within minutes. It’s also a good idea to know in advance, where to take your dog for midnight emergencies. I am a very grateful pal of my dog; we have bonded even more strongly now.
