Leo might simply be a dog to some, however to the Malay’s he’s family. The generally active dog has actually looked significantly various today. Brett Malay thinks it’s due to the fact that his puppy might have consumed an enzymatic cleaner while in the care of Dogtopia.
“Gastric Dilation Volvulus and from my understanding it’s a twisted stomach. So, the stomach flips over, that’s when GDV happens and in Leo’s case it was double twisted so it flipped over once and it flipped over again and then it cuts off the circulation and blood flow to that stomach,” Malay said.
Malay and his family ran out town at a funeral service, however hurried home.
“The vet said GDV is caused, the twisting of the stomach is caused by either fluid or food in this case it was fluid and then activity afterwards,” he said.
Malay revealed KPRC 2 the documents from the veterinarians workplace which shows Leo was at first generated due to the fact that of that cleaner.
“Leo stayed with us for one night and was only observed drinking water from our water bowls. For cleaning, we use a dilute, non-toxic enzymatic solution that is safe for ingestion, contact or inhalation across all our centers,” Dogtopia said to KPRC 2 in a declaration.
Malay said while the cleaner might be safe, it’s the water he was enabled to consume after that he thinks triggered the GDV.
“The theory is he could of drank this cleaner, tried to flush it out. We don’t know if Dogtopia encouraged him to drink water after they noticed it,” Malay said. “We feel Dogtopia is responsible at least partially responsible if not fully responsible for the medical expenses incurred.
