My vet recommended it.
I had it done on my standard poodle female before.
Gunther has not exhibited any signs of bloat,but knowing,that standard poodles are known to be predisposed to bloat,I chose to do strictly as a preventative procedure.The laparoscopic gastropexy resulted in 2 small incisions on the side and underneath his body.It is much less invasive than the traditional gastropexy.
He is about 27 in and about 60 lbs at 14 month.
