Case of the Month February 2014 - Should Have been Semple

Sidney John is a 12 year old large breed cross breed who is owned by one of our nurses. In the past we have featured a case of the month where a dog was suspected to have a twisted stomach, its not normally an operation that worries me sadly no matter what you do it is a fifty fifty chance. However my heart sank when I had a phone call from my nurse saying her own dog had eaten a whole bag of dry food 4 times his normal daily ration and he was bloated. I met Sidney John and his mum at the surgery and took an xray of Sidneys stomach.
