Abstract
A 9-year-old male Great Dane presented with acute abdominal distension and non-productive retching. Radiography confirmed gastric dilatation–volvulus. After stabilisation and gastric decompression, derotation and incisional gastropexy were performed. The dog recovered without complications and remained healthy at the six-month follow-up.
