Signalment
The owner of "Duke", a 4 year old Great Dane calls the emergency out of hours service as he is concerned about him.
History
Duke's owner explains that he has fed Duke earlier in the evening but now he appears unwell. Duke is making retching noises but, apart from copious amounts of saliva is not producing anything from the mouth. Duke's owner also thinks that he looks bloated.
It is 2am in the morning. Are you going to see this dog before surgery starts at 8:30?
- Yes! This could be a life-threatening condition.
