If is known as Gastric-Volvulus and generally occurs in dogs with long, deep chest cavities such as the Rottweiler, Boxer, Rhodesian Ridgeback, etc. It can, however, occur in other breeds so it’s important to know about signs, symptoms and causes in order to protect dogs like the Papillon. The illness may occur when unusual amounts of air, fluid, gas, food or even foam forms in the stomach.
