When I came in from the shop last night around 9, I let Shadow (my German Shepard) in. I noticed he wasn't feeling too good, I got off the computer and he laid down and and was drooling bad. Called my vet at 10:00pm, she was gracious enough to meet me and open the clinic. We did an X-ray, discovered that was we suspected was hapening, Shadow had torsioned (Twisted his stomach around itself). We attempted to clear it, unsuccessfully. My vet and I (me acting as her assistant prepped him for surgery and opened him up. She discovered that the stomach was nacrcleptic and there wasn't anything thing else we do for him, except to make the end a painless as possible. Goodbye my friend......
