 I'm Senior Constable Chad McLeod from the Brisbane Dog Squad at the Gatton University today at the Small Animal Veterinary Clinic. Out here to get my pleased dog, Maui, his gastroplexy operation and the gastroplexy operation is a preventive operation to stop gastric torsion. That's a condition that large breed dogs, deep chested dogs succumb to and it's where the stomach gets bloated for some reason or another, whether it's full of food or if they're very anxious and high dry like these dogs, they'll pant a lot, sometimes they get full of air. So the university here have been very good towards us and we now get this preventive operation. So today, pleased dog Maui is going in for keyhole surgery. And so all we're doing for the police dogs and for other dogs that are at risk is we bring them in before they've had any evidence of GDV. Our dogs live at home with us, they're part of the family and the last thing that we want is for them to go down with an injury like this and retire early or even die. Because this disease, if it occurs, if they get a GDV, it will kill them. There's no other outcome if they're left untreated, they will die. So for dogs like Maui who's in a very important role in our community, he's an important member of the police force and he has an important role to play. So he not only do we not want this to happen to any dog but we certainly don't want it to happen to these dogs. Maui is a general purpose police dog. So his roles are to locate persons who basically run from crime scenes to help look for missing persons and various duties like that, apprehend armed offenders, that sort of thing. The surgery has minimal impact on him at this time in his life and also we're doing it laparoscopically, so we're doing it with small cameras and small incisions so it allows him to get back to work really quickly. Yeah, the vets here recommend that we don't work the dogs for at least 14 to 21 days. He'll get to kick back in his kennel at home and just take it easy for the next two to three weeks.
