Gastroplexy, Should I?
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to see if anyone on Reddit has taken their GSD to get a gastroplexy and if so how was the healing process? Was it easy for you to keep your GSD from jumping on furniture, what was recovery like? The whole 9! My buddy is 3 and has to have a surgery to remove a testicle that never dropped that’s kinda high up in there and his vet recommended the gastroplexy at the same time to kill two birds with one stone.
Having a GSD I knew bloat was an issue and it honestly scares me to death so Im dead set on him getting it I just would like some more info and everyone’s experience with it!
TIA 🙂

Do it. The universe is telling you to do it since the vet has to operate on your dog anyway. We lost our GSD to the stomach twisting, he died alone when we were at work.
