When blood pools between the skin and the cartilage of the ear flap, whether due to trauma or infection, it causes a swollen, fluid-filled pocket called a hematoma that can cause discomfort and pain for your pet.

Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV) is a serious and life-threatening condition that occurs when a dog’s stomach fills with gas, fluid, or food and twists on itself. More commonly called “Bloat”, GDV can develop without warning, can progress rapidly, and is always an emergency. As the stomach twists, it becomes severely distended and puts pressure on the surrounding organs, decreasing blood flow and causing damage to the tissue. Large breed dogs with deep chests are at the greatest risk, such as Great Danes, but this condition has been reported in nearly every breed. To prevent this condition, a Gastropexy procedure can be performed that can reduce the risk by 95%. During this procedure the stomach is sutured to the abdominal wall, preventing the stomach from twisting.

Whether after a fight with another animal or an accident, lacerations can cause severe blood loss and need emergency surgery to suture the wound closed and allow it to heal properly.
