Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -What causes GDV in dogs? GDV in dogs has no single cause, but several factors are likely to be involved. Some risk factors for GDV include genetic predisposition, being deep-chested, having a lean body condition, eating quickly, eating from a raised food bowl, and being fearful or nervous.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) is a disease in which there is gross distension of the stomach with fluid or gas and gastric malpositioning. It causes pathology of multiple organ systems and is rapidly fatal. It is common in large-and giant-breed dogs. The disease appears to have a familial predisposition.

Detailed explanation-3: -What causes gastric torsion? We don’t really know why bloat happens. It is thought that if there is enough room in the abdomen for gas-filled organs to move, then occasionally they will. This is why the condition is most common in deep-chested dogs.
