Info on Intestinal Torsion?

I'm new to this forum - I found it while searching for info on Intestinal or Bowel Torsion. I recently lost my beloved Elvis, The Greatest Dane, to this condition. He was only 15 months old. I had memorized the symptoms of bloat, and thought I was prepared for bloat. But this is different, and the vets couldn't figure out what was wrong until it was too late. Does anyone have any experience with it or any info? Thank you.

Sorry to hear the news, you must be devastated.

I lost one Irish Setter to gastric torsion and almost lost his son, thankfully he pulled through.

Hopefully there will be someone on here that can be of help to you.

Welcome to Dogsey, by the way
