However, dog owners and veterinary surgeons have a good understanding of how the disease progresses after the torsion. Measures during the emergency care of the patients are also well-known, so that in most cases the dogs not only survive a stomach torsion incident, but will not suffer a second time. The following overview focuses first on the various and contradicting theories to the pathogenesis that attempt to explain the occurrence of the stomach torsion. From these, conclusions for prevention are drawn. Next, the article covers the successful cornerstones during the initial treatment of the dogs that can lead to a survival rate as high as possible. Finally, the veterinary measures used in treatment are described.
