Hi. My name is Mable. I’m a Shar-Pei and I think I am the Boss! On Friday night, my stomach ballooned like a beach ball. I could hardly breathe; I was panting, restless, and frothing at the mouth. My mom rushed me to the ER vet where they said I had GDV/bloat. My stomach was twisted and was cutting off the blood supply to my organs, and air, fluid, and food were building up in my belly. It swelled up to the size of a beach ball. I had to have emergency surgery that night. Some pups die within hours, but I was lucky. I got the surgery in time and now I’m recovering. The only problem is it cost over $6000. Mom and dad do not have that kind of money saved up. If you can help in any way, I will be glad to give you cuddles and kisses. My mom and dad were unaware of this disease even existing. Maybe my story will help others. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!!
